"Caged" is a 1950 film tells the story of a teenage newlywed, who is sent to prison for being an accessory to a robbery. Her experiences while incarcerated, along withthe killing of her husband, change her from a very frightened young girl into a hardened convict.

The movie was adapted by Virginia Kellogg from the story "Women Without Men" by Kellogg and Bernard C. Schoenfeld. It was directed by John Cromwell.

Plot

A 19-year-old married teenager (Eleanor Parker) is sent to prison, after a botched armed robbery attempt with her equally young husband (who is killed). While receiving her prison physical, she finds out that she is two months pregnant. She gives birth to a healthy baby and "temporarily" grants full custody to her mother. The intent is to get the baby back after she is released. However, her callous mother has other plans and without her knowledge, permanently gives the child up for adoption (because the child does not fit into the grandmother's lifestyle). She never sees her baby again.

Due to this and other unwelcome events and actions, (including being watched over by a very sadistic and physically menacing female prison guard (Hope Emerson)) this young girl makes a startling transformation into a hardened criminal.

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Eleanor Parker), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Hope Emerson) and Best Writing, Story and Screenplay.
