Review of Elevator to the Gallows (1958) by Emily B — 23 Mar 2009
Director Louis Malle's feature debut is a stylish crime thriller with a clever story, solid performances, and great black and white cinematography - unfortunately the slow pace dampens much of the suspense.
Maybe only a minor classic, but fans of hardboiled crime stories will find plenty to appreciate here. Great jazz score by Miles Davis.
