Summer of Jeanne Moreau - Elevator to the Gallows (1958)

If you enjoyed watching Jeanne Moreau moodily roam the streets of Milan in La Notte, then you will surely enjoy Jeanne Moreau moodily roaming the streets of Paris in Elevator to the Gallows. Bonus: a crazy good Miles Davis score and no dubbing.

Criterion says "For his feature debut, twenty-four-year-old Louis Malle brought together a mesmerizing performance by Jeanne Moreau, evocative cinematography by Henri Decaë, and a now legendary jazz score by Miles Davis. Taking place over the course of one restless Paris night, Malle’s richly atmospheric crime thriller stars Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose plan to murder her husband (his boss) goes awry, setting off a chain of events that seals their fate. A career touchstone for its director and female star, ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS was an astonishing beginning to Malle’s eclectic body of work, and it established Moreau as one of the most captivating actors ever to grace the screen."
