Howard Rodman on

Caged Heat

Released 1974
Distributor New World

Having produced several biker and Filipino women-in-cages pix for Roger Corman, Jonathan Demme got his chance to direct with this sleazy 1974 drive-in special replete with socially-committed prison-abuse trappings, costarring Russ Meyer starlet Erica Gavin and the indelible Barbara Steele. Joe Dante’s first (overlong and way too expensive) trailer for New World. NSFW.
