🎬Malle's debut that launched the French New Wave
🌃Moreau's night walk was shot without permits on real Paris streets

Louis Malle's debut pairs a sleek murder plot with an improvised Miles Davis score that breathes smoky tension into every frame. Jeanne Moreau wanders Paris in real-time despair while the jazz trails her like a conscience.
