This is a great movie, one of my all time favorites. If only Criterion would release it in HD!
"The Wages of Fear" (1953) on Voom/Dish
"The Wages of Fear"
["Salaire de la peur" 1953, B/W]
It's on the Dish "World" channel 9475, I'm looking at a very crisp and detailed HD broadcast.
"In a poor and isolated South American village, men are hired to deliver an urgent nitroglycerine shipment by truck over dangerous mountain dirt roads."
Engrossing, sometimes totally hair-raising!
Mostly French dialog, with subtitles and side-curtains. B/W. Remade by William Friedkin as "Sorcerer" in 1977.
