This Ain’t Endora: Agnes Moorehead in Caged (1950)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on May 2, 2024
Caged (1950), categorized in most cinema circles as film noir, takes a grim and often harrowing look inside a women’s prison, concentrating primarily on one Marie Allen (excellently portrayed by Eleanor Parker), a 19-year-old who’s convicted as an accessory to an armed robbery committed by her husba read more
Eleanor Parker Was “Caged”
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 9, 2020
When I was introduced to Eleanor Parker as Baroness Elsa Schraeder in The Sound of Music (Robert Wise, 1965), I didn’t immediately become a fan of her.

True Classics Posted by on May 5, 2014
After watching season one of Netflix’s popular series Orange is the New Black, I was excited when the opportunity arose to review 1950′s Caged, a similar story of a naive young woman who is imprisoned after collaborating in a crime. Certainly there are many parallels between the two stor read more
In Memory of Eleanor Parker: Caged
Sunset Blvd Posted by Rachel T on Dec 21, 2013
To celebrate the wonderful Eleanor Parker, I had originally planned to write a piece on her most famous creation: the Baroness Schraeder of The Sound of Music. However, while it is definitely a lovely performance, (and God knows we all adore her in it —especially in those gorgeous party dresses) read more

À Margem da Vida (1950) / Caged (1950) Diz-se que a prisão muda um homem. Mas o que ela faz com uma mulher? Não importa se a pena é de alguns meses ou muitos anos, ir para a prisão é sempre uma experiência traumática, pois a prisão não melhora ninguém, é só um lugar de punições read more
