If you didn't kill Simon, never mind. If you were afraid, so much the better. But you must come back. I must have you here alive, by my side. I must. I must. I must. Jeanne Moreau in Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows, 1958) dir. Louis Malle

The best way to look at Elevator to the Gallows, it seems to me, is as an anomaly—as the first in the long series of anomalies that was Louis Malle’s career. The uniqueness of Elevator to the Gallows is that it is the only Malle film designed purely as a genre exercise, the only one in which execution seems more important to him than process. He was all of twenty-five when the movie came out, and it’s clear that he was testing himself, the way a young poet might flex his or her muscles with a conventional form like the sonnet.
