Review of Elevator to the Gallows (1958) by R Michael O — 18 Oct 2014
Pauline Kael wrote a couple of paragraphs about Malle's first film and said it was entertaining but the plot was "third rate." I totally disagree. Saw the film for the first time in several years, and LOVED it.
I thought the plot was quite intricate -- I suppose that makes me a simpleton. Great first effort, and of course, Moreau was stunning and incredible -- even without make-up. I often agree with Kael's barbed reviews -- not this time.
