English term or phrase: there was not much meat in the roles...misnamed
Hola, de nuevo:

Sobre Hope Lange y sus peliculas

Apart from Peyton Place, however, there was not much meat in the roles. She was the feminine interest in the misnamed The True Story Of Jesse James (1957), which was dominated by Robert Wagner and Jeffrey Hunter as the outlaw brothers.

Me imagino que sera algo asi como que 'los papeles no tenian mucho interes'

misnamed es 'mal llamada'?

Gracias y saludos,

Pilar
