It's a 1953 French film called [i]Wages of Fear[/i]. It was later remade as [i]Sorceror[/i] by William Friedkin (guy who did [i]The Exorcist[/i]).

Yep. Wages of Fear (Le salaire de la peur).

Wonderful film with Yves Montand

Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
