William Friedkin’s poorly titled but riveting adaptation of Georges Arnaud’s novel Le Salaire de la peur (The Wages of Fear) debuts on Blu-ray in an effectively barebones release, but a first rate high definition transfer of this once overlooked cinematic gem more than makes up for any shortcomings in the special features.
