Review Summary
THE WASP WOMAN is a low-budget sci-fi movie directed in 1960 by Roger Corman. Michael Mark, a scientist, makes experiments with the royal jelly of wasps. He is sure that his discovery is the elixir of youth and proposes it to Susan Cabot, a cosmetics entrepreneur, who is desperately seeking a new successful product. She volunteers to test the product. A not so good idea.
Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
