Question
I am trying to get hold of a film I saw as a boy recommended by my old english teacher. It is unique in that when there is an dramatic part, there is no music. it is in black and white. It is about a lorry driver that has to transport a cargo of highly explosive material as part of his work - danger money. I afraid I don't know the title, maybe you can help?

Answer
Hi Matt,

I'm pretty sure tou're looking for the 1953 French film "The Wages of Fear", starring Yves Montand.

You can read the plot, and other info on the film at:  http://www.answers.com/topic/the-wages-of-fear-1

Happy New Year !!
