Contact with criminals in a prison transforms a young woman into an embittered convict, where she fights to survive among brutal and hardened inmates. Eleanor Parker was nominated for Best Actress as the imprisoned woman and Hope Emerson received a Best Supporting Actress nod as the institution’s sadistic matron. The screenplay was also Oscar nominated., Eleanor Parker delivers an Oscar-nominated performance as an girl swept into a petty crime–and a life behind bars–in this dramatic and realistic look at the effect that life inside prison has on a young woman. Marie Allen (Parker) becomes hardened by life inside a corrupt and dehumanizing penitentiary … until she reaches the point that she will do anything to survive the place and the life inside which she is Caged., Eleanor Parker plays a naive young woman who helps her no-good husband in a robbery. Parker is sentenced to prison, where, despite the compassionate efforts of warden Agnes Moorehead, she is subjected to the cruelties of Amazonian matron Hope Emerson. The new prisoner’s only “friend” on the inside is shoplifter Betty Garde, who teaches Parker all the tricks of her profession, hoping to recruit the girl as an accomplice upon release. Reeling from the twin tragedies of her husband’s death and her miscarriage, Parker becomes as hard and cynical as her cellmates. Paroled, she faces an uncertain future on the Outside, as the warden observes resignedly that the girl will be back behind bars before long. Far superior to the general run of “women in prison” epics, Caged avoids such pitfalls as a happy ending or cliched characterizations. Eleanor Parker might well have been an Oscar contender for Caged had it not been for a powerhouse 1950 nominee lineup including Bette Davis, Judy Holliday and Gloria Swanson.
