There are different levels of women's prison movies. For a serious great one, a Caged was awesome, it was the first I ever saw and I was fascinated by the subtext. Plus one of the greatest sadistic prison matrons of all. As IMDb quotes: " There is undeniably some hokum in this 1950's crime drama, but this is still easily one of the best prison films ever, featuring top-notch performances by Eleanor Parker as the young innocent eventually hardened by the grim realities of prison life, and by Hope Emerson as the scary prison matron (both deservedly recieved Academy Award nominations for their work). This is a gripping, well-made story, highlighted further by moments of genuine power. One of my favorite 50's flicks" For hilarity, Reform School Girls, with Wendy O. Williams, Sybil Danning and Pat Ast ranks up there. There is a scene with branding that is kind of hot and this time, archetypal sadistic prison matron and female warden now engage is far more explicit behaviorour that Caged could only allude to. As you can tell, I know way too much about women's prison movies. My ex husband is even worse than me, he has one of the best collections on the planet. I think one of the reasons he married me was that I did not think he was weird for having so many and that I loved them as much as he did!!!!
