The Wages of Fear is a 1953 French film starring Yves Montand. This is shown with commercials, but I'm just happy to find it online:
The Guardian includes it in their list of best action and war films of all time, saying it "has no superior in the field of action-suspense". Roger Ebert has a positive review. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 100%.

I can't keep up with you
ReplyDeleteI do watch a lot of movies. I'm reading less now because of it though.
DeleteFor all the critics to agree, it must have been a good movie.
ReplyDeleteIt's well-praised.
Delete...as FDR said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself!"
ReplyDeleteAnd cultists. We need to fear the cultists.
DeleteIt's definitely NOT a short film. It looks good from the first 10 minutes I watched. I'll see the rest tonight when there isn't so much internet traffic.
ReplyDeletelol No, it's longer than I generally like.
DeleteThat's highly praised!
ReplyDeleteYes. I had never heard of it 'til it showed up on one of the lists I use.
DeleteOh I know this is one Mr. M. would like. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI hope he likes it :)
DeleteI watched it years ago. It was so engaging that I forgot there was subtitles.
ReplyDeleteI love it when that happens :) Sometimes I'll get up and go to the kitchen during a movie and _then_ realize I can't understand what they're saying because I had been reading subtitles lol
DeleteThis sounds good, I will try to watch it. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it :)
