Sorcerer 1977 - Wages of Fear - Salario del Miedo - Carga Maldita - 01 de 10

An American oil company located in a South American town is looking for drivers to haul nitroglycerine over the rugged terrain. Four expatriated men who have nothing to lose take on the job, for which theyll each be given $10,000 and the reward of legal citizenshipif they live. Sorcerer is a 1977 action-adventure film, produced and directed by William Friedkin, starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal and Amidou. It is a remake of the 1953 French film Le Salaire de la Peur (Wages of Fear). Sorcerer followed Friedkin's highly successful The French Connection and The Exorcist.

@Shawnkells Thank you. You are right. I read this somewhere else after posting my comment. It was a bad choice of title that remains obscure even if you do see the truck's name, unlike for instance the intriguing and mysterious "M", "7" or "8 ½" whose relevance quickly becomes obvious. This surely contributed to the new version's lack of success at the box office. In contrast, "The Magus" which means much the same thing as "sorcerer" clearly refers to the main character played by Anthony Quinn.

@Hendrikdevuile The( Sorcerer) is the name of one of the trucks that they haul the TNT to the fire in. You can see the name painted on the side of the truck as it passes. Happy?

That they changed the title I can understand, but why "The Sorcerer"? There wasn't even a native witchdoctor, at least not in the original. Francisco Rabal was considered to be Spain's greatest actor, though I always found his manner too domineering, abrasive and often disgusting to like him. Roy Scheider was able to get under the skin of most of his characters. Let's see how he compares with the great and charismatic Yves Montand.

We need more comments like this on YouTube.

@TheIntruders It's great that you respect the original so much that you posted this explanation, but I still enjoyed it. What flashbacks there were in this version made no sense whatsoever. I'm surprised that Friedkin didn't take CIC to court.

One of the greatest cinematic adventures of all time (even in this truncated version).

It's a shame it was a box office failure - possibly due to a misleading title and the fact that Star Wars came out at the same time is this.

@mphrdldn - Says "Video removed by user" - too bad, all 4 of the intro sequences were here at one time.
