Caged is a 1950 American film noir[2] directed by John Cromwell and starring Eleanor Parker, Agnes Moorehead, Betty Garde, Hope Emerson, and Ellen Corby. It was nominated for three Academy Awards.[citation needed]
The film portrays the story of a young newlywed sent to prison for armed robbery. Her brutal experiences while incarcerated, along with the killing of her husband, transform her from a meek, naive woman into a hardened convict.[3] The film's subplot includes massive prison corruption.[citation needed]
Caged was adapted by Virginia Kellogg from the story "Women Without Men" by Kellogg and Bernard C. Schoenfeld. In 1948, the studio had originally intended the film to be a vehicle for Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, but financial differences intervened. [4]
