Why did Nancy Archer grow after being held captive by the giant alien? Did he want make her big? If so you would think he would have come back for her after she had grown or perhaps he planned to but Nancy was already dead. Or was exposure to something on the aliens spaceship (radiation?) that made her grow?

Right its never made clear why she grew to 50 FT and one other thing the space guy was only 30 FT

The radiation made her grow, just like the giant ants in "Them".
shareThe part I couldn't figure out was why her hair turned blonde when she grew!
shareJimbo300 I thought the same thing. Even when I was a child watching this movie on tv.
shareIt was likely dyed so that it would stand out against the black background for the giant scenes. That or the lighting made the hair look lighter. Either way, there is no on-screen explanation; the scenes with Giant Nancy would likely had been shot last, and with a tight budget, shooting new scenes to explain the inconsistency would be out of the question.
shareThese aliens live by black widow spider rules, or praying mantis. They try to mate with a larger female, even if they have to make then larger through radiation, because radiation makes everything bigger.
Then, after copulation, the female takes the smaller male, starts chewing at his neck till his head falls off, then eats the body to assist in feeding the baby over the course of several months.
Otherwise, they would have had to call it "Attack Of The 5' 8" Woman".
