LADY IN A CAGE (1964). Olivia De Havilland is a rich extremely self satisfied Widow recovering from an injury who, during a power failure , gets stuck in her small elevator shortly after her son leaves for the weekend. Her hope of rescue is shattered as a Drunken Derelict and his floozy friend break into the house for things to steal. Three hoodlums have noticed the derelict and decide to follow him to the house....
Probably one of the earliest home invasion films and parts of this are pretty frightening as it only takes a moment to turn Your world upside down. Quite vicious in parts and extremely cynical in nature. James Caan is the leader of the Hoods and a nasty SOB He is too. Look also for Scatman Crothers and Richard Kiel ion early roles. ***
