Elevator to the Gallows - movie reviews and information AccessAtlanta "Elevator to the Gallows" then unfolds like a rain-drenched shotgun marriage between American film noir and the French new wave — a movement that wouldn't be firmly established for two more years, with the arrival of the cool, amoral chic of 1960's "Breathless." Read the full review Elevator to the Gallows - movie reviews and information It's the first thing we see: Her face swims out of the darkness, voluptuous as a lily, as she whispers into the phone, "I'm the one who can't take it any more — I love you, I love you."

:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Elevator to the Gallows (xhtml) "Je t'aime, je t'aime," she repeats into the telephone, in the desperate closeup that opens Louis Malle's "Elevator to the Gallows" (1958). Malle became a card-carrying New Waver, and "Elevator to the Gallows" could be called the first New Wave title, except then what was "Bob le Flambeur"? The work of Melville, Jacques Becker and their contemporaries uses the same low-budget, unsprung, jumpy style that was adapted by Truffaut in "Jules and Jim" and Godard in "Breathless" (which owes a lot to the teenage couple in "Elevator"). rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050915/REVIEWS/509150302/1023   (757 words)

Elevator to the Gallows Elevator to the Gallows is an entertaining film, though perhaps not a particularly artful one. While this manages to differentiate Elevator to the Gallows from its noir heritage, there are times when the film seems to be turning into a hideous mixture of Double Indemnity and an I Love Lucy rerun, with one improbable event following another. What is unique in this film is the number and elaborateness of the complications. glyphs.com /words/film/95/elevator.html   (340 words)

:: New York Newsday on "ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS" :: :: New York Newsday on "ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS" :: If you're returning for a second look, you may be surprised at the extent to which Malle pulls away from his stars and focuses on young Yori Bertin and Georges Poujouly, as a pair of causeless rebels on a fateful joyride. Decades before Louis Malle fell for Candice Bergen and copped an Oscar nomination for his straightforward World War II memoir "Au Revoir les Enfants," he pioneered the French New Wave via moody, black-and-white dramas in which Jeanne Moreau peeked fetchingly through Paris shop windows. www.rialtopictures.com /grisbi_xtras/elevator_newsday.html   (137 words)

Interview: Jeanne Moreau - interview with French actress - Interview She was almost thirty, after all, with a decade of film and stage work behind her, when she first won international fame as the heroine of Louis Malle's two sultry love stories, L'ascenseur pour l'echafaud (Elevator to the Gallows) and Les Amants (The Lovers) in 1957 and 1958, respectively.

Far from being a conventional screen beauty, Moreau, in repose, might look tired, haggard, almost witchlike, but when she smiled, she lost years and cares and became Circe the Enchantress, outdazzling the sun. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1285/is_n9_v26/ai_18798908   (1484 words)

Elevator to the Gallows I was still in elementary shool when my brother Louis made Elevator to the Gallows.
