For his feature debut, twenty-four-year-old Louis MalIe brought together a mesmerizing performance by Jeanne Moreau, evocative cinematography by Henri Decaë, and a now legendary jazz score by Miles Davis. Taking place over the course of one restless Paris night, Malle s richly atmospheric crime thriIIer 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 femaIe star, Elevator to the GaIlows was an astonishing beginning to MaIle's ecIectic body of work, and it estabIished Moreau as one of the most captivating actors to ever grace the screen.
