Wages of Fear

France Yves Montand d/George-Henri Clouzot

The story of four down-and-out guys hired to take two truckloads of nitro 300 miles to a blown-out well site.

This took a full hour to set the stage and introduce the characters...once the drive gets going it's still a riveting experience. It's as much a character study as an adventure story and holds up well because of it.

A great classic of French cinema.
