Lada St. Edmund Jr. with The Stones

The existential crisis of a man, a go go dancer and a cage. This Kafkaesque tale exists in a realm somewhere between the Twilight Zone and Shindig, a netherworld where angst goes where the action is.

The dancer is the legendary go go superstar Lada St. Edmund Jr. who had a thriving career frugging in cages on TV (Hullabaloo) and in the movies during the 1960s. She’s still alive, living in New Jersey and teaching dance is a fitness instructor and boxer.

I’ve tried to track down more info on Girl In A Cage but have come up snake eyes. A short clip from it has been used in a fan made Youtube video for the Sonics song “Psycho.” Other than that, I haven’t found anything on the Internet. But given a choice between sharing the rarely seen Girl In A Cage in its entirety with little back story or keeping it to myself, I opted to share.

Watch as a man is driven to the brink of insanity by a frenzied go go dancer in a basement apartment somewhere in pop culture hell.
