This was my first non-English speaking noir film. Despite not personally loving this movie, I can't recommend it enough. Malle has successfully merged French sensibilities -- this movie is French New Wave before French New Wave was a thing -- with the gritty American melodrama. Malle's obsession with Parians streets and highways in this movie are striking.

I put this on my "must watch" list for the Miles Davis soundtrack. I stayed with the movie for its noir/Hitchcockian plot (even with the few holes they left behind). I usually don't like films with "unlikable" characters, but this one won me over.

I'm not a master filmmaker, so the ending was surprising to me in how simple everything wrapped itself up. I would have ended it with Tavernier making a miraculous escape only to find himself arrested for a crime he didn't commit, while the young couple commit suicide with sleeping pills only to have been able to escaped scot free.

Commissaire de police: "Anything's good for an alibi. Wives, girlfriends, bartenders, childhood friends, deceived husbands - but not an elevator. That's ridiculous. It's totally harebrained."
