I love the French actor Charles Vanel. Personally, I will never ever forget that superb scene in The Wages Of Fear when he gets his legs crushed by the truck that's carrying TNT. A truly great film that the French did so well!

For its time (and even now, I think) the film was shockingly graphic in its portrayal of suffering.

And Vanel is an absolute master. I love his acting skills generally but in this film he surpasses himself.

I THINK THIS EPISODE OF THE OUTCASTS MIGHT BE A HORSE-BASED REMAKE OF THE WAGES OF FEAR

HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT

#the outcasts 1968 #La salaire de la peur #The wages of fear #will continue to report on whether this is secretly a movie remake #and whether it's at all similar to Sorcerer 1977

On August 24, 1960, The Wages of Fear was re-released in Argentina.

I had an epiphany the other day that when Ranboo and Tommy were recusing Friend and Henry and Henry died on a tiny fall after they safely got both pets all the way out of the massive hole, it parallels the The Wages of Fear.

Charles Vanel and Yves Montand in The Wages of Fear (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1953)

Cast: Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Folco Lulli, Peter van Eyck, Véra Clouzot, William Tubbs, Jo Dest, Antonio Centa, Luis De Lima. Screenplay: Henri-Georges Clouzot, Jérôme Géronimi, based on a novel by Georges Arnaud. Cinematography: Armand Thirard. Art direction: René Renoux. Film editing: Madelein Gug, Etiennette Muse, Henri Rust. Music: Georges Auric. 

With John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969), Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear forms an unholy trinity of adventure films. All three are about soldiers of fortune in Latin American countries seen as ripe for the pickings by predatory outsiders. Clouzot's film is probably the most deeply cynical of the three: Houston at least lets two of his adventurers survive, and Peckinpah's bunch at least shows some sympathy for the exploited poor. But from the opening of Clouzot's film, in which a half-naked child is seen tormenting some cockroaches (a scene Peckinpah borrowed for his film's opening), we are in hell. The unnamed country is being plundered by the Southern Oil Company, known by the acronym SOC, pronounced "soak." The S and the O, however, suggest Esso, the old trademark of Standard Oil before it and Mobil morphed into the double anonymity of Exxon. An oil well is on fire 300 miles away from the SOC headquarters, which lie on the outskirts of an impoverished village, and the easiest way to deal with the fire is to seal it off with explosives. So the foreman at the headquarters, Bill O'Brien (William Tubbs), proposes sending a couple of trucks cross-country, laden with nitroglycerin. Union drivers would balk at such dangerous work, so the company hires some of the local layabouts: Mario (Yves Montand), a swaggering Corsican; Jo (Charles Vanel), a French gangster from Paris; Luigi (Folco Lulli), an Italian who has just learned that he has a terminal lung illness from his work handling cement for SOC; and Bimba (Peter van Eyck), a German who survived forced labor in a salt mine under the Nazis. All  have been idling in the village waiting for the big break that will allow them to leave, and this seems to be it. Desperation at getting out is so intense that one of the men who vie for the job commits suicide after he fails to land it. The journey is, to say the least, harrowing, and Clouzot makes the most of every nail-biting moment of it. As a director, hes as smart in what he chooses not to show us and in what he does. Jo, for example, is not the first choice as a driver: O'Brien goes with a younger man. But when that man doesn't show up on the morning of departure, Jo takes his place. We don't see what Jo did to eliminate or delay his rival, but we're sure it wasn't good. And when one of the trucks explodes, we don't see the buildup to or the cause of the explosion: We witness it from a distance, and then join the surviving truck drivers as they come upon the scene, which they treat as just another hazardous obstacle on the road. The Wages of Fear was heavily cut on its first American release: The portrayal of American capitalism didn't sit well in the era of HUAC investigations. Clouzot's nihilism in The Wages of Fear sometimes feels a little heavy: One character actually dies with the word "nothing" on his lips. The screenplay for The Wages of Fear lacks the polished wit of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which also contains the great performances of Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and the undervalued Tim Holt. And The Wild Bunch displays Peckinpah's great narrative drive and unequaled handling of action sequences. But Clouzot's film easily belongs in their company, and its uncompromising darkness makes many think it the best of the three.
