Elevator to the Gallows
Even the feature-film debut of famed director Louis Malle is a interesting, modern film noir with the traditional theme of fans plotting to kill the husband and also make it appear to be suicide (reminiscent of The Postman Always Rings Twice). Jeanne Moreau gives an astonishing efficiency, naive although perverse, as she leads her buff down a trail which can only lead for each of these.
