I was watching Paul Muni in " I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang "(1932)
on tv drooling over all the old trucks and got to wondering what other movies
had a lot of trucks prominant.I have "They Drive By Night "with Bogey, George
Raft, and Ann Sheridan, but there have to be others. I remember one about
guys hauling explosives in South America, I think, from the Thirties or
Fourties. It's interesting to see them as they were, working trucks trying to
make someone a living. Any other memories out there?
Thanks,
Morgan Sellers
Hi Morgan
The movie you're talking about is a 1952 french movie called "WAGES OF FEAR"
(Le salaire de la peur)
It won the Cannes film festival movie award in 1953. It's a french movie
about guys hauling nitroglicerine in south america. Actors are Yves Montand
and Charles Vanel, and and the director is Henri Georges Clouzot
I think you can find it in VHS or DVD. This is a real great classic. JP
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
