Curiozități

Caged Heat is a 1974 American women-in-prison film written and directed by Jonathan Demme, in his directorial debut. It stars Juanita Brown, Roberta Collins, Erica Gavin, Ella Reid, Rainbeaux Smith, and Barbara Steele. John Cale wrote and performed its soundtrack music, which features the guitar playing of Mike Bloomfield.

Production

Jonathan Demme had produced two films for Roger Corman, including the women in prison picture The Hot Box (1972). He wanted to become a director, and wrote a script titled Renegade Girls (with input from Frances Doel) for Corman. However, the producer did not want to fund it, as he thought the cycle had peaked.

Before its release, the film was retitled Caged Heat, a likely reference to two earlier prison-themed movies, Caged and White Heat, both of which Jonathan Demme discussed paying homage in his DVD commentary for the film.

For his film, Demme introduced new aspects to Caged Heat, including a satirical approach and making the sadistic warden female instead of male.
