THE WASP WMAN (1960). Roger Corman (RIP) quickie that while very low budget is better than it sounds, although the titular feature is less than impressive. An aging head of a Cosmetics Firm-probably two firsts in a film of this type; a Woman is in charge and the emphasis on her normal aging could be responsible for declining sales- lets herself be a Guinea Pig for a scientist's experiments with Wasp jelly (although You tend to see a swarm of bees instead::confused) to rejuvenate her appearance. Things start off well, but it only lasts so long and typical of most people (not just a woman), She wants results yesterday and things quickly go FUBAR. Good performance by Susan Cabot in her last film. ***
