In his mesmerizing debut, twenty-four-year-old director Louis Malle brought together the beauty of Jeanne Moreau, the camerawork of Henri Decad, and the now legendary score by Miles Davis. A touchstone of the careers of both it's star and director, Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'Tchafaud) is a richly atmospheric thriller of mistaken identity unfolding over one tense night in Paris. Part of the Criterion Collection of classic films.
