...actors try hard, but Wages of Fear is not a drama of character; Clouzot is much more interested in ideas than in people. At the social level his idea is simple: hate America. His four figures are intended to signify Italy, Germany, and two aspects of the French soul, all sent on a fool's errand to pull U.S. chestnuts out of the fire. The propaganda is mostly vicious and irresponsible, occasionally clearsighted, always clever. U.S. audiences, however, will not be subjected to most of it.

A workingman's family in the East End exists on a fraction of the amount spent by a comparable group in the United States; and in this area living conditions as still austere as well as crowded. The people are therefore a favorite target for demagoguery of the hate-America type; and the East Ender's memory of the bitz is not overlooked by politicians with a neutralist plank, inveighing against the United States as a warmonger. The Winant Volunteers, assisting in the leadership of clubs, taking groups of children to camp on the Channel Islands and helping with...
