Lift to the Scaffold (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud ) - dvd

Whether the face of Jeanne Moreau, or the mournful trumpet of Miles Davis, this film is etched into the memory of all who have watched it forever. Narrative centres around a bungled crime of passion, but the lingering memories of the film stem from the black & white photography, the creeping tension of mood and music, and the magnificent face of Jeanne Moreau.
