The Wasp Woman. 1959.
Janice Starlin is the head of a major cosmetic company and loosing her young looks, she decides to try e experiment on herself with royal jelly from wasps that has dire consequences.
Did this film inspire the story for Roald Dahl with the episode from Tales Of The Unexpected? A year earlier we were given The Fly so why not do a female version of another insect and we see the film's budget put to use with a strange mask. This isn't Roger Corman's best film's with just over a hour it does seem a bit rushed and could have made it a bit longer, i'm not complaining as I did enjoy it.
