The WASP WOMAN

The WASP WOMAN
   Film (1959). Filmgroup/Allied Artists. Prod/dir Roger CORMAN, starring Susan Cabot, Michael Mark. Screenplay Leo Gordon, based on a story by Kinta Zertuche. 73 mins. B/w.
   One of Roger Corman's more routine efforts, this may have been rushed out to capitalize on the publicity received by The FLY (1958). Cabot plays well the ageing cosmetics executive who, in asuccessful attempt at rejuvenation, takes a form of royal jelly (from wasps not bees) prepared by loony apiarist Zinthrop (Mark). The side-effect is that she occasionally grows an unconvincing wasp's head and eats people. TWW is a shabby, rather unhorrifying film.
