Film Noir of the Week 10 of 10
[Caged] There was a time when Caged rolled around with some regularity on local and even cable stations, a time which seems to be no more. Never released commercially on either VHS or DVD, it may be the best movie ever that keeps sinking deeper into obscurity. (And it's little short of scandalous that Caged used to turn up on lists - obviously compiled by the callow - of the worst movies ever made. True, the dames-behind-bars movie quickly ran to a sexploitation sub-genre - you could sense this coming even in 1955's Women's Prison - but Caged, for all its frankness, never so sullies itself; if anything, it can be seen as proto-feminist). More than just about any post-Code movie up to 1950, Caged pushed the envelope. It's an altogether astonishing piece of work.
