Elevator to the Gallows
The feature-film debut of famous director Louis Malle can be a interesting, modern film noir with the classic motif of fans plotting to kill the husband and make it appear to be suicide (similar to The Postman Always Rings Twice). Jeanne Moreau gives an amazing functionality, innocent although perverse, as she directs her fan down a path that can only lead for both of them.
