i just received an email from amazon touting something called lady in a cage. has anyone seen it? here’s part of the amazon summary. (the full summary at amazon gives the entire plot away so beware.)
In Lady in a Cage, Olivia de Havilland plays an aging, wealthy widow who is recuperating from a recent hip operation and is forced to use an elevator to get from one story of her home to the other. While she’s headed for the upper story of the house, a power failure occurs that leaves her stranded in the elevator car 12 feet off the ground. The elevator’s alarm bell arouses the curiosity of a passing wino, who comes in and helps himself to the widow’s wine cellar. The transient and a friend begin looting the house until they are one-upped by a trio of feral, neobeatnik thugs (led by a very young James Caan). All the invaders merely ignore the widow’s pleas for help as they toss her house in an orgy of violence.
i don’t know that i’m going to buy it but if netflix gets it i’m definitely renting it.
