“Help! I am trapped in a small private
elevator!” Seriously - don’t you just hate it when that happens? That’s the
dilemma that befalls genteel, affluent widowed poetess Cornelia Hilyard (Olivia
de Havilland). She’s recuperating from a broken hip; her son is away for the
weekend – and the small private elevator in question malfunctions, leaving her
trapped between floors. And just then, when Cornelia is at her most vulnerable,
a gang of feral delinquents break into her home …
Berserk 1964 thriller Lady in a Cage is firmly in the post-Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? hagsploitation tradition (interestingly, the lead role was originally offered to Joan Crawford. And the same year de Havilland co-starred opposite Bette Davis in that other hagsploitation classic, Hush … Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)). Won’t you join us on Thursday 20 July when the free monthly Lobotomy Room cinema club (devoted to Bad Movies for Bad People) presents Lady in a Cage? But take note of the leading lady’s warning: “Do Not See Lady in a Cage Alone! It is a shocking picture with a terrifying theme! No holds are barred in Lady in a Cage. So, take somebody along and hold onto them – for dear life!” There will be safety in numbers downstairs at Fontaine’s cocktail lounge – and stiff cocktails to steady your nerves!
