Also like so many movies, the only female has a male name "Steve" despite the film dating from the mid 50s.

It would be interesting to track this phenomenon as well, as it seems prominent women have traditionally male names in movies much more than in real life, especially in horror movies. Could gender bias be a factor in causing that as well?
