Wheels Go Round and Round
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Regarded by many as a mere Hitchcock knockoff, Henri-Georges Clouzot nonetheless instills his film with the most exhilaratingly gut-wrenching suspense imaginable. Stranded in a small South American village, a group of men (led by Yves Montand) take a job driving truckloads of nitroglycerine through rocky, dangerous territory. Every turn of the wheels brings on another bead of sweat... William Friedkin remade this film as Sorcerer (1977).
