YOU MUST HAVE A REGION FREE PLAYER TO OPERATE! ****** THE WAGES OF FEAR - HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT Based on the 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur and critically hailed upon its original release, The Wages of Fear propelled its director Henri-Georges Clouzot (Les Diaboliques) to international fame, and is rightly considered a classic of world cinema.
