This 1957 Japanese film was released in the United States in 1959 with the title The Mysterians. Alien invaders from a planet long-ago destroyed by nuclear war come to Earth looking for women to help propagate their species and a piece of land to inhabit. Ultimately, both the Mysterians and their giant warrior robot are defeated by the world's combined military power and a secret weapon capable of reflecting the Mysterians' gamma rays back at them. This is the Italian version. Beauty and the Beast p. 49.
