this is the 60's Funny Games, very violent and dark for its time. the crooks reminded me of alex and his gang in clockwork orange they just wanted blood and fun! recommended
A group of criminals harrass a woman traped in an elevator in her home. Features an early appearance by James Caan and has an ending that must have been pretty shocking for 1964.
Olivia de Havilland plays a wheel-chair bound woman who gets trapped in her elevator when the electricity goes out. She finds herself at the mercy of taunting hoodlums who break in and torment her. Great movie!
This is a really freaky movie, full of pre mod and psychedelic hippie types who enjoy torturing the poor lady. The youth of today probably took lessons from this movie, What is this world coming to ?
A thriller from 1964 featuring the great Olivia de Havilland and introducing James Caan. It's about a lady who gets trapped in her home elevator and these thugs who break in and cause all kinds of trouble. Great black & white cinematography, very suspenseful screenplay that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Mr. Caan is wonderful as a horrible character, and the film was definitely ahead of its time. Apparently its graphic violence led it to being banned in Britian. For 1964, the movie is graphic. I was expecting "Lady in a Cage" to be a campy melodrama, but instead I was pleasantly surprised at how effective a thriller it is.
