ReviewsSlant Magazine - THE WAGES OF FEAR contains tension-fraught stretches of "pure cinema" that probably gave even the Master cold sweats., Entertainment Weekly - Rating: B, Empire Magazine - A nail-biting drama that's a must-see., Chicago Reader - A significant influence on Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH, this grueling pile driver of a movie will keep you on the edge of your seat., New York Times - ...Seldom have the exquisite pain and pleasure of motion-picture suspense been mixed with quite the intoxicating effects that [Clouzot] achieves [here]....Classic...
Additional InformationMade two years before his slightly better known DIABOLIQUE, Clouzot's nail-biter of a suspense film is the story of four broke and desperate men stranded in Latin America. Eager for a way out of their respective situations, they accept an American oil company's impossibly dangerous offer to transport two truckloads of nitroglycerin across hazardous jungle terrain. Remade by William Friedkin as SORCERER in 1977.
