What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Noël Calef's novel "Lift to the Scaffold" (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud).
- Director Louis Malle (1932-1995) filmed the lead actress Jeanne Moreau (1928-2017) in close-up with natural lighting and often without makeup. Previously, the icon of French cinema, Moreau, had never appeared in such a state on camera. It even came to the point that assistants in the laboratory were shocked at how poorly the actress came out and simply refused to process the film. When they were finally persuaded to fulfill their duties, it became clear to everyone, including themselves, that Malle had managed to capture every nuance of Moreau's performance.
- The Mercedes stolen by Louis was a Mercedes-300 SL sports coupe. The car has gull-wing doors and an aluminum body, a relatively rare and unique vehicle.
- The film is based on the novel "Elevator to the Gallows" (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud) by Noël Calef.
