My friend Brook told me he saw this film on cable the other night. It is one of the greatest and darkest adventure films ever made. Henri-Georges Clouzot created many masterpieces, but this is the one that resonates the most deeply with me. Four lost souls driving two trucks loaded with unstable dynamite down a crumbling jungle road to put out an oil well fire. Gut-wrenchingly bleak and breathtakingly tense. Unforgettable.
