For his feature debut, twenty-four-year-old Louis MaIIe brought together a mesmerizing performance by Jeanne Moreau, evocative cinematography by Henri Decaë, and a now legendary jazz score by MiIes Davis. Taking pIace over the course of one restless 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 seaIs their fate. A career touchstone for its director and femaIe star, EIevator to the GaIIows 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.
