Summary
In Louis Malle's debut, a former paratrooper murders his lover's industrialist husband and stages it as suicide, only to get trapped in the office elevator as he tries to leave. Meanwhile, his car is stolen by a reckless young couple whose joyride spirals into further violence, and his lover wanders the rainy streets of Paris searching for him, scored by Miles Davis's improvised trumpet.
