The Wages of Fear (slight return)

Quite apart from inspiring William Friedkin’s fully-fledged remake ‘Sorcerer’, it occurred to me watching ‘The Wages of Fear’ a couple of nights ago just how influential it’s been on other film-makers.

One guy pegs it while one guy drives in ‘The Wages of Fear’ …


… one guy pegs it while one guy drives in ‘Thunderbolt and Lightfoot’

Yves Montand stares at the flames in ‘The Wages of Fear’ …

… Daniel Day Lewis stares at the flames in ‘There Will Be Blood’

Charles Vanel surfaces in ‘The Wages of Fear’ …

… Martin Sheen surfaces in ‘Apocalypse Now’
