笼子里的女人(1964)

“沃尔特·杰拉曼”导演的《笼子里的女人》是一部非常好的电影，加上奥利维娅·德哈维兰,詹姆斯·肯恩等演员的加盟，使这部原本平淡的剧本焕发出新的光彩，赢得了观众的高度评价。

The lady is Mrs. Hilyard, a wealthy poetess who lives in a three-story city mansion and her cage is her elevator, which stops a dozen feet short of the main floor due to an electrical failure on a July 4th weekend. She rings her outside alarm, eventually noticed by a drunken derelict, who breaks into the house, ignores her plight and helps himself to various items and alcohol. He leaves with his loot but returns a while later with a plump prostitute and three teenage hoodlums, who proceed to terrorize Mrs. Hilyard as they wreck her home.
