Reception
In a contemporary review for the New York 'Daily News', critic Maxine Dowling called 'Cage of Evil' "... a bitter and contrived tale ... It's an uninteresting, slowly paced melodrama that does nothing for anyone concerned, least of all our much maligned police."
TV Guide wrote that "... it's not bad for grade-B crime drama."
