The Wages of Fear

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

I (Le Salaire de la Peur) starring Yves Montand, Charles Vanel.
Drifters from all over the world end up in Las Piedras, with their dreams of making a fortune in the American-controlled oil-fields reduced to threadbare schemes for earning a ticket home. A fire in an oil-well means that anyone who volunteers to drive a consignment of nitroglycerine 300 miles over bumpy mountain roads can earn 2,000 dollars. The Wages of Fear features a masterly performance from Charles Vanel , who died recently.
