I think you mean "Just Imagine", which takes  the double  honor of being
both the worst science fiction movie (although I'll admit the acting was
better than that in "Plan Nine from Outer Space") and  the worst musical
I've ever seen.  Words cannot describe  just how  incredibly stupid this
movie is.  Oh,  and it  also featured  incredibly silly-looking costumes
(on the Martians) and really bad choreography.
