From Wikipedia:

Lady in a Cage is a 1964 American psychological thriller film directed by Walter Grauman, written and produced by Luther Davis,and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Olivia de Havilland and features James Caan in his first substantial film role.

When an electrical power failure occurs, Mrs. Hilyard

(Olivia de Havilland), a wealthy widow recuperating from a broken hip, becomes trapped between floors in the cage-like elevator she has installed in her mansion. With her son Malcolm (William Swan) away for a summer weekend, she relies on the elevator’s emergency alarm to attract attention, but the only response comes from an alcoholic derelict, George (Jeff Corey), who enters the home, ignores her pleas and steals some small items.

The wino sells the stolen goods to a fence, then visits his prostitute friend, Sade

(Ann Sothern), and tells her of the treasure trove he has stumbled upon. The expensive goods George fenced attract the attention of three young hoodlums, Randall (James Caan), Elaine (Jennifer Billingsley) and Essie (Rafael Campos). The trio follows George and Sade back to the Hilyard home, where they conduct an orgy of violence, killing George the wino and locking Sade in a closet.

Randall then pulls himself up to the elevator and taunts Mrs. Hilyard with a note left behind by her son Malcolm, in which he threatens suicide because of her domineering manner. Shocked by the revelation, Mrs. Hilyard struggles with Randall, escapes the elevator, and crawls out of the house. Randall follows and, as he is attempting to drag her back inside, Mrs. Hilyard gouges his eyes, but is dragged inside by his accomplices. As she crawls back outside, the blinded assailant stumbles into the street and is run over by a passing automobile, whereupon police arrive to arrest the surviving intruders and comfort the victim.

“Old Jack sat on a bench in the old plaza in the Old Town of Los Angeles. The district thereabouts, Mexicans to the south, Chinese to the east, Italians to the north, immigrant Jews to the West, had escaped those things called improvements. It remained about as it had been since Los Angeles was a tough cow town, down through the era of round cuffs and bustles, the coming of the gasoline buggy and the “settlers” from the East. So remained many of its old-time habitues.”
