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 pIace over the course of one restless Paris night, MaIle's richly atmospheric crime thriIIer stars Moreau and Maurice Ronet as star-crossed lovers whose pIan 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 female star, EIevator to the GalIows was an astonishing beginning to MaIle's eclectic body of work, and it established Moreau as one of the most captivating actors to ever grace the screen.
