"Elevator to the Gallows"
1958
Directed by Louis Malle

A Hitchcock-like romantic thriller from director Louis Malle (Atlantic City, Au Revoir les Enfants) which features a terrific early performance by French superstar Jeanne Moreau as a woman waiting for her lover to return from committing the "perfect crime." Malle sets old Hollywood film noir formulas to new rhythms in what is one of the first films of the French New Wave. Original jazz score by the late great Miles Davis. In French with English subtitles.  92 minutes.
