There is merit in these intentions, as well as the film’s biography, but Caged Heat is diminished in comparison to Demme’s later works. His film has interest in subtext and subversion, a film made for men that stands doubly as an affront to them. For Demme, conclusively, the film (which he wrote and directed) is an opportunity to transcend the genre. Caged Heat is, after all, contractual exploitation, an example of Corman’s trademark bargain filmmaking with obligated nudity and violence. In the title alone is the implication that this film is set to depict the sexual thirst of repressed women. And it has a lot of nudity, including bush. Caged Heat is the better of the two, simply because it wears its b-movie heart on its sleeve. Both of the movies included here are good, but neither are the best of the genre. The location is summarized in a tracking shot across the prison cells that finds moans coming from many women. Jackson County Jail / Caged Heat is a pretty cool, but not quite awesome, prison double feature. Jacqueline (Erica Gavin, the buxotic title character of Russ Meyer’s Vixen!) is caught and taken to a women’s penitentiary. Among this string of audacious debuts is Jonathan Demme’s Caged Heat, which I find to be the most laudable of Corman’s training wheels. Corman has produced the early features of Martin Scorsese ( Boxcar Bertha), Francis Ford Coppola ( Dementia 13), Ron Howard ( Grand Theft Auto), and James Cameron ( Piranha II: The Spawning). His prolificacy his comparatively attainable trait, the remarkably exclusive feature of Roger Corman is his fostering of the careers of some of the more critically prominent contemporary directors. After being arrested for drug offenses shes sent to a. This impression is unbefitting of a man who has produced over three hundred films, a substantial number of which are titled with either an action verb, an exclamation point, or both. Caged Heat (Demme, 1974) follows Jacqueline Wilsons (Erica Gavin) descent into prison life. He looks like a grandfather, even, listening patiently and entirely kempt, the sort of person you can never picture swearing. ![]() Roger Corman appears to be a man of sophistication if you hear him speak.
