Synopsis
The lady is Mrs. Hilyard, a wealthy poetess who lives in a three-story city mansion and her cage is her elevator, which stops a dozen feet short of the main floor due to an electrical failure on a July 4th weekend. She rings her outside alarm, eventually noticed by a drunken derelict, who breaks into the house, ignores her plight and helps himself to various items and alcohol. He leaves with his loot but returns a while later with a plump prostitute and three teenage hoodlums, who proceed to terrorize Mrs. Hilyard as they wreck her home. —IMDb

More than a story by itself. Lady in Cage is a society portrait from the Woman caged till the background of impersonality and individualism that comes with modern society. Despite some naivety moments, the film is a thrilling example - though little spoken - about a new wave of suspense productions of 6o's that became cult films. With a hitchcockian flavour, Lady in Cage is a terrific and well-made film.

Like every other horror movie Lady in a Cage has its ridiculous and silly moments but all in all it is quite effective and perfectly creepy. Olivia de Havilland's performance is great. She overdoes the loving mother a little at the beginning but she is strong as the terrified woman fighting for her life.
