The Wages of Fear [Import]

Henri-Georges Clouzot’s spellbinding tale tracks a dangerous South American oil well fire and the team of four down-on-their-luck European men hired to extinguish it. In order to do so, they must drive two trucks of volatile nitroglycerine across 300 miles of mountainous terrain, defying death at every turn. Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Folco Lulli, and Peter Van Eyck star in this French gem of cinematic suspense and adventure, based on a 1950 novel by Georges Arnaud. 148 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; interviews; documentary; featurette. In French with English subtitles. Region Free
