Movie Reviews of Caged!
Movie Review: Great film!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Caged" is actually an excellent film with excellent performances. It really ought not to be marketed as period camp. It's a deeply serious film and helped to expose unconstitutional conditions in prisons of that era. Much like what "The Snake Pit" did for mental asylums and their treatment of patients, "Caged" helped to shine a light on much needed change in the women's penal system. Both films have similar styles and are still relevant today. Abu Grahib and Guantanamo Bay are perfect examples. Regardless of your politicial or social perspectives, if you're a film buff, "Caged" is worth more than one viewing to really appreciate it. A+.Movie Review: An absolute HOOT!
Summary: 5 Stars
OMIGOD, I can't believe how many reviewers take this movie seriously! Eleanor Parker is AWFUL (as she was in just about everything) but here she "acts" with a capital "A!" Unbelievably, she got an Oscar nomination, but I guess that was pretty much par for the course back then for glamorous stars who a) played mute (Jane Wyman), b) played prostitutes (Shirley Jones) or c) shaved their heads (Parker).
Parker's tranformation from innocent good girl to hardened criminal is heavy handed, remarkably fast, totally unnuanced and hysterically funny!
Don't miss this "so bad it's good" classic!
Movie Review: Caged!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when I was a kid and never forgot it; somehow it seems very seamless to me and the story is very tragic and makes me think. I thought Eleanor Parker was so good and I notice towards the end of the movie how even her voice changes. I really like this movie a lot and every time I watch it I want to cry over certain developements. I think all the actors did a good job and I hope they're proud to have starred in it because "b" movie or not, it's good moviemaking!Movie Review: Classic women's picture!
Summary: 5 Stars
Eleanor Parker should have been a big star. But, others were already in the running for the good scripts at Warner. Joan Crawford wisely passed on this film. She was too old to play the part. Two ladies of TVLand are featured, Ellen Corby ("The Waltons") and Agnes Moorehead ("Bewitched").
I enjoyed this film as a kid when it had broadcasts on Washington DC's channel 5 Sunday Movie lineup in the 1970s. Glad it finally got a DVD release.
Movie Review: GREAT CAMP!
Summary: 5 Stars
THERE'S TRULY NOTHING MORE ENTERTAINING THAN A BUNCH OF WOMEN BEHIND BARS...ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TOSS IN A FEW DYKES (LESBIANS TO YOU), A FEW MENTAL CASES (GOD LOVE ELLEN CORBY), BUTCH GUARDS (GIGANTIC FAYE EMERSON), A SYMPATHETIC WARDEN (AGNES MOREHEAD), AND THE OBLIGATORY "INNOCENT" (ELEANOR PARKER) CELL MATE! HIGH CAMP AT IT'S BEST!
