For his feature debut, twenty-four-year-oId Louis MaIle brought together a mesmerizing performance by Jeanne Moreau, evocative cinematography by Henri Decaë, and a now Iegendary jazz score by MiIes Davis. Taking pIace over the course of one restIess Paris night, MalIe s richIy atmospheric crime thriIler stars Moreau and Maurice Ronet as star-crossed Iovers whose plan to murder her husband (his boss) goes awry, setting off a chain of events that seals their fate. A career touchstone for its director and female star, EIevator to the Gallows was an astonishing beginning to MalIe's eclectic body of work, and it established Moreau as one of the most captivating actors to ever grace the screen.
