This film is one of the great camp science fiction classics of those paranoid years of the Fifties. Though I will say that the Russians do come somewhat together with the free world to combine forces against a greater threat.
The threat is this criminal brain from the planet Arous wherever in the Universe that is. It may only be a floating brain but this brain has powers and abilities way beyond those of man. Including the power to take over human bodies like that of scientist John Agar. These folks are kind of like the Organians in that classic Star Trek episode. But the Organians are happy incorporeal beings who just want these lower creatures to leave them alone. These Arousian brains occasionally want some earthly pleasures as the brain remarks he'd love to have some pleasure with Agar's fiancé Joyce Meadows. Since they're just brains just how does an Arousian arousal manifest itself?
Anyway a good brain from Arous comes to fight the bad one, but it can only be done when the brain has to leave its corporeal host for a breather. The good brain to keep an eye on the situation inhabits Joyce Meadows dog. Can this get sillier? Yes it can, but I don't want to give too much away.
The Brain From Planet Arous or maybe the two brains is a cinematic hoot from start to finish. If you live science fiction camp, this is your film. See John Agar almost take over the world.
