Elevator to the Gallows<\/b><\/i> (Frantic<\/b><\/i>\u00a0in the US and\u00a0Lift to the Scaffold<\/b><\/i> in the UK) is a 1958 French crime<\/a>\u00a0thriller film<\/a>\u00a0directed by\u00a0Louis Malle<\/a>, starring\u00a0Jeanne Moreau<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Maurice Ronet<\/a> as illicit lovers whose murder plot starts to unravel after one of them becomes trapped in an elevator. The scenario was adapted from the 1956 novel of the same name by No\u00ebl Calef. Associated by some critics with\u00a0film noir<\/a>,<\/sup>\u00a0and introducing new narrative, cinematographic, and editing techniques, the film is considered an important work in establishing the\u00a0French New Wave<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0New Modern Cinema<\/a>. The\u00a0improvised soundtrack<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Miles Davis<\/a> and the relationship the film establishes among music, image, and emotion were considered ground-breaking. The poster artist Jan Lenica<\/strong> (1928-2001) was a Polish graphic designer and cartoonist. A graduate of the Architecture Department of Warsaw Polytechnic, Lenica became a poster illustrator and a collaborator on the early animation films of\u00a0 Walerian Borowczyk. Between 1963 and 1986 he lived and worked in France, and from 1987 he lived and worked in Berlin. In 1974 he lectured on poster art at Harvard University in Cambridge, USA. He was a professor of graphic, poster, animated cartoon for many years at German high schools and the first professor of the animation class at the University of Kassel, Germany, in 1979. Lenica’s work made one of the key chapters in the history of Polish art of the second half of the twentieth century. His fame and recognition in Poland as well as international acclaim was earned by his poster art and animated films, the two areas in which he was considered one of the world’s finest artists. He is regarded as a forerunner of modern animation.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1859,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[31],"product_tag":[5074,5080,5041,5063,5082,5040,5042],"class_list":{"0":"post-2230","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-film","7":"product_tag-artposters","8":"product_tag-originalvintageposters","9":"product_tag-polishposters","10":"product_tag-posterdesign","11":"product_tag-vintagedesign","12":"product_tag-vintagepolishposters","13":"product_tag-vintageposters","14":"pa_artist-lenica-jan-1928-2001","15":"pa_cast-georges-poujouly","16":"pa_cast-jeanne-moreau","17":"pa_cast-maurice-ronet","18":"pa_director-author-louis-malle","19":"pa_genre-film","20":"pa_grading-very-good","21":"pa_poster-country-of-origin-poland","22":"pa_poster-year-369","23":"pa_work-country-of-origin-france","25":"first","26":"outofstock","27":"sale","28":"shipping-taxable","29":"purchasable","30":"product-type-simple","31":"czr-hentry"},"yoast_head":"\n
