(E. g.: big business in America, now assured of fairly steady profits, seeks along with the government to "rationalize" -manipulate and control-the total economy of the country and, if possible, the world.)

The first half of the film or so is devoted to probing the squalor, primitivism, and baseness of the town. Clouzot had spent some time in Brazil working on a documentary, and his intimate familiarity with the repellent conditions in towns used as bases for American...
