The lovers took an elevator to the gallows


The lovers took an elevator to the gallows. miles davis was softly wispering, and he did it not once but twice. De repente un disparo y un hombre cae al suelo. Otro hombre esta encerrado en un ascensor pensando en su amante.

He feels like the freest person in France. He is rich and successful, he need not worry about tomorrow. No matter what he does or what happens, he doesn't need to worry about tomorrow. At this point, in his 30's, he's freed himself from almost everything. Morally, religiously, in practically every way.

Pero ella esta en Paris, huye del aburrimiento de una vida provinciana y de un desagradable marido. No puede ayudarle, in fact, while her lover is trapped, she is at a polo game. She is about to go to bed with a handsome spanish polo player.

Tomorrow things will be different. Both together now, she will be driving her car, followed by the police who suspects them in a murder case. De hecho, ha sido ella, so suspicions are well founded. ella se escapa, y deja a su marido y a su hijo detras. Su carrera, la de el, hubiera sido la misma en todo caso. La de ella no.
Un amor furtivo cambio su vida para siempre.
