The plot of William Friedkin's suspense thriller originated with the same Georges Arnaud novel that inspired Henri-Georges Clouzot's French suspense classic The Wages of Fear (1953). Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou play four men who, for various reasons, cannot return to their own countries. They end up in a dismal South American town where an American oil company is seeking out courageous drivers willing to haul nitroglycerin over 200 miles of treacherous terrain. The four stateless men have nothing to lose -- and, besides, they'll be paid 10,000 dollars apiece, and be granted legal citizenship, if they survive. The suspense is almost unbearable at times, even outdistancing the tension level of The Wages of Fear in certain scenes. Unfortunately while this film should have been a blockbuster given Friedkin’s preceding films (French Connection & Exorcist) it’s ultimate BO success was hampered by being released one month after Star Wars.and arguably by it’s title. This is a fascinating movie with an even more fascinating back story.
There has never been a Bigfoot like this! A group of scientists and explorers tinker with mother nature when they stumble upon a centuries-old Yeti in the frozen tundra. They thaw out the savage Sasquatch to profit from him. But this hairy giant has other plans, and like his cinematic cousin Kong, he's looking to grab the girl, climb the tallest skyscraper and smash the city to shreds. In this family-oriented adventure fantasy, a less-than-Abominable snowman becomes friends with a teen-age girl, a conservationist, a deaf-mute and a courageous collie. This is the only Mimmo Crau video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Eddie Faye, Phoenix Grant, John Stacey.
