In this week's episode, we discuss two action films based on the 1950 novel "Le Salaire de la Peur" by Georges Arnaud. Both films involve 4 men down on their luck in fictional South/Central American towns driving trucks full of nitroglycerin across 300 miles of treacherous terrain.
The first is "The Wages of Fear", the 1953 French/Italian adaptation directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and filmed entirely in the south of France.
Secondly, "Sorcerer", the 1977 remake directed by William Friedkin and released at the same time as a little film called "Star Wars".
Which one will come out on top?
