Malle had an intellectually curious nature that led him to approach film from a variety of angles he was as comfortable making minimalist works like the wordless Humain trop humain and the talky André as phantasmagorical ones like Black Moon. This most unpredictable and eclectic of filmmakers enriched cinema over a nearly forty-year career that took him from Jacques Cousteau’s watery depths (his first film was the Cousteau-codirected Oscar winner The Silent World) to the peripheries of the French New Wave ( Zazie dans le métro, The Fire Within) to the vanguard of American moviemaking ( My Dinner with André). ![]() ![]() Cast Jeanne Moreau Florence Carala Maurice Ronet Julien Tavernier Georges Poujouly Louis Yori Bertin Véronique Jean Wall Simon Carala Lino Ventura Inspector Chérier Iván Petrovich Horst Bencker Félix Marten Christian Subervie Elga Andersen Frida Bencker Gérard Darrieu Building porter Sylviane Aisenstein Secretary Charles Denner Assistant inspector Hubert Deschamps Assistant district attorney Jean-Claude Brialy Chess player at motel Credits Director Louis Malle Producer Jean Thuillier Screenplay Roger Nimier Screenplay Louis Malle Based on the novel by Noël Calef Cinematography Henri Decaë Music Miles Davis Camera operators André Villard Camera operators Jean Rabier Production design Rino Mondellini Production design Jean Mandaroux Production manager Irénée Leriche Editor Léonide Azar Assistant editors Kenout Peltier Assistant editors Madeleine Bibollet Sound Raymond Gauguier Technical consultant Jean-Paul Sassy Assistant directors Alain Fraissé Assistant directors François Leterrier Script girl Francine Corteggiani Photographer Jean-Louis Castelli Makeup Boris de Fast Production Nouvelles Éditions de FilmsĬrime dramas, comedies, romances, tragedies, fantasies, documentaries, and, of course, coming-of-age stories-director Louis Malle did it all. ![]()
