Caged Fear

David Keith plays Tommy, an ex-convict who violates terms of his parole when he crosses a state line to woo his former girl friend Kristen (Kristen Cloke), and so effectively that they decide to marry; however, when they visit a jewelry store to select her ring Tommy, shy of the required funds, robs the establishment and when, following the holdup, Kristin is arrested for failing to confirm Tommy's part in the affair, off she goes to prison. This first section of the film garners one's interest by dint of creative camera-work and some realistic dialogue, but following Kristin's incarceration it becomes simply another Women in Prison film, replete with that rightfully scorned genre's accessory clichés, with a generous addition of plot elements so silly that one can only presume that the excessive number of continuity flawed episodic scenes either lack for direction or anything resembling post-production supervision.

You've seen this basic idea before. A beautiful woman going to jail although she's innocent. In this case for being together with her boyfriend, as he robs a jewelery store. And of course when the police catches her, she's just so good-hearted (or something) that she takes the blame. Inside the prison you get most of what you expect EXCEPT for nudity. There's actually a quick shower scene that's pretty funny (you'll know what I mean when you see it) but NOTHING is revealed. If you don't consider bare shoulders being of interest. There are however a few interesting, unusual turns in the intrigue. Nothing great but at least someone tried. Don't pay too much money for this, but it's OK to watch the film if it airs on TV.
