Film Synopsis

In his mesmerizing debut feature, twenty - four - year - old director Louis Malle brought together the beauty of Jeanne Moreau, the camerawork of Henri Decae, and a now legendary score by Miles Davis. A touchstone of the careers of both its star and director, Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'echafaud) is a richly atmospheric thriller of murder and mistaken identity unfolding over one restless Parisian night.
