Lohn der Angst
"The Wages of Fear" was critically hailed upon its original release. Bosley Crowther of "The New York Times" wrote "The excitement derives entirely from the awareness of nitroglycerine and the gingerly, breathless handling of it. You sit there waiting for the theatre to explode." The film was also a hit with the public gaining 6,944,306 Admissions in France where it was the fourth highest earning film of the year.
