Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud wasn't the first film to use a jazz soundtrack or to feature jazz musicians. However, the novelty of films such as Louis Malle's Ascenseur pour l'echafaud was the absolute integration of jazz music to a feature film whose story had nothing to do with jazz or even with music itself: the utilisation of jazz music to emphasise the dramatic action and to develop/support the film's climax. Miles Davis' improvisations fit the dark atmosphere of the film perfectly and contributed greatly to underline the many subtleties of the story and the internal thoughts of its characters.
