ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS (1958)
on the big screen!

Taking place over the course of one restless Paris night, Louis Malle’s richly atmospheric crime thriller stars Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose plan to murder his boss, and her husband, goes awry, setting off deadly chain of events. Featuring a legendary jazz score by Miles Davis, the film was career touchstone for its director and female star, Elevator to the Gallows was an astonishing beginning to Malle’s eclectic body of work, and it established Moreau as one of the most captivating actors ever to grace the screen. (France, 1958, 92 mins, French | Dir. Louis Malle)
