Film: Elevator To The Gallows (1958, France, dir. Louis Malle, 91 minutes)

A botched murder plan leads to a series of unexpected events that change the lives of two couples. Filled with innovative camerawork and a wistful, largely improvised Miles Davis soundtrack, Louis Malle’s influential film noir helped provide a stylistic foundation for the French New Wave movement.
