The Wages of Fear (1953)
from Drinks and a Movie · host Rudy Ruiz
This week I'm reviewing Henri-Georges Clouzot's "The Wages of Fear". This is an adaptation of a novel of the same name and is about four men on a mission to drive two trucks filled with nitro glycerin across the south american jungle. This is a must see movie. It would later be remade as "Sorecerer" directed by William Friedkin. I highly recommend both films and must say that the less you know the btter. Go watch this and/or Sorcerer blind and then come back and listen to this podcast.
