About The Little Boy from the Lift
A young boy is hired as a lift attendant in a grand hotel when his mother dies. To fulfill his dream, he takes part in a competition organized by the manager, and wins 1st prize: a two-day stay in one of the princely suites. He wants to share the experience with his young girlfriend, the florist, but discovers that she has betrayed him and returns to her elevator.
Directed by Pierre Granier-Deferre, The Little Boy from the Lift leans on a strong ensemble — Alain Dekok, Mireille Nègre, Marcel Dalio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1962.
