Friedkin’s exhilarating 1977 adaptation of the novel The Wages of Fear, which had already served as the source for a highly regarded French film back in 1953. I had assumed from the (terrible) English title that it must have some kind of supernatural element like the director’s The Exorcist, but that was happily not the case. For the record, it’s the name of one of the trucks used to transport the dynamite, but the name has absolutely nothing to do otherwise with this realistic suspense film.
