Movie No. 111 (2013): ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS
Elevator To The Gallows (1958)
Director: Louis Malle
Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet
In French, with English subtitles
The plot is simple: A wife plots to kill his husband with the help of her lover, who is his husband's associate. It could have been a perfect murder, but something went wrong. Then one false move leads to another. And the thrill associated with all these was effectively conveyed by the clever script, stylish direction, jazzy score, and sharp black-and-white cinematography.
