SLAM Cinema—Elevator to the Gallows
Friday, March 14, 2025 | 6:30–8:15 pm CDT | Free
In honor of 314 Day, SLAM celebrates the cinematic contribution of jazz icon and East St. Louis–native Miles Davis, who created the groundbreaking soundtrack for this 1958 French crime thriller. Directed by Louis Malle, the film noir and French New Wave classic stars Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet as illicit lovers whose murder plot starts to unravel after one of them becomes trapped in an elevator. In French with English subtitles. Not rated. 91 minutes.
Tornado warnings and potential hail did not keep me from going to the Saint Louis Art Museum Farrell Auditorium for a Black & White movie in French with subtitles featuring jazz music by Miles Davis. I used the parking garage for fear of hail damage that did not happen. In fact I was home in Creve Coeur in time to watch an evening of weather updates and storms that interrupted my DVR while I slept.
