EPISODE 39: FILMSTRUCK'S FRIDAY NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE - This week Audy is joined by co-host Andy Wolverton for a third episode in a row! They chose to review and discuss the double feature of Black Sun and Elevator to the Gallows. Both films have jazz music as their emotional chord. The fellas start off with Black Sun, a 1964 Japanese new wave film directed Koreyoshi Kurahara, film about two outsiders, one Japanese Tokyo drifter and how he helps a Black American G.I. who commits a murder thus becoming outlaws and depiction of their growing bond as an alternately absurd and tragic culture clash. Next Audy and Andy dive into the masterclass of french crime thrillers, Elevator in the Gallows, the 1958 Debut film of french director, Louis Malle, starring the legendary Jeanne Moreau as a mistress to a  wealthy businessman who tries to plan the perfect crime with her French Hitman boyfriend played by Maurice Ronet all set to the moody and haunting jazz score by the prolific jazz legend, Miles Davis.
