Elevator to the Gallows
The feature-film introduction of famous director Louis Malle is an interesting, modern film noir with the timeless theme of lovers plotting to kill the husband and also make it look like suicide (reminiscent of The Postman Always Rings Twice). An astonishing efficiency, perverse but naive, as she contributes her fan right down a course that can lead to doom for both of them is given by jeanne Moreau.
