The Wasp Woman

This scene confirms that quacky Zinthrop (Michael Mark) is in fact working with wasp-juice, having been hired by cosmetics entrepreneur Janice (Susan Cabot), who had shown interest in its potential as a remedy for aging, and insists on being his test subject, in Roger Corman’s The Wasp Woman, 1959.

Producer-director Roger Corman’s opening, with maybe some suggestion of innate character traits, in leading lady Susan Cabot, as cosmetics tycoon Janice, stinging her staff (Fred Eisley as Lane, William Roerick as Cooper, Barboura Morris as Mary), in The Wasp Woman, 1959.
