This extremely stylish noir was the first film from director extraordinare, Louis Malle.Elevator to the Gallows features a quintessentially cool soundtrack by Miles Davis and the sophisticated beauty of Jeanne Moreau in a role that catapulted her to stardom.
The story takes place over one night in Paris where mistaken identity, murder, passionate lovers, and twists of fate collide. A great new wave noir all around, from the clever title to the moody and stunning cinematography.
