Elevator to the Gallows -- saw it yesterday

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Finest part by far, the Miles Davis track. Searing!
Next best, the cinematography. Night visions!
But the major actors (especially Jeanne Moreau) were awful, although the minor roles were filled superbly (those high-living Germans!); and the writing was amateurish.
No murderer as cool about it as our man would just forget to remove the rope he used to climb through the window with. Geez! But that's the main plot point.
Nor would his lover/accomplice (the victim's wife) make herself a figure around town all night looking for the guy (who's trapped in the elevator when he goes back for the rope).
Lovely Jeanne, she's walking in the rain and her "do" isn't even mussed.
But the flick does have its rewards, as said, not the least of which is what happens in and with the perp's car while he's trapped. Stupid klutz, he left the key in the ignition!
Which is the second unbelievable plot point.
