With the Leveque poster of Wages of Fear, if you know your French cinema the
artists rendition of Charles Vanel is so unmistakably him and the expression on
his face reminds me so much of that awful moment.
Just like Ballester’s renditions of the faces of Brando in On the Waterfront
and Ford’s in The Big Heat posters they may not be perfect but they capture the
essence of the character in this case Brando’s anger and defiance at the
violent Union mob and Ford’s face of seething broodiness, when I look at that
poster he just looks like he’s ready to explode with vengeance. Damn good job
on Marvin in the background as well.

I would kill for that "Salaire de le peur."
Kill. For. It.
==================
myself, I would just spill my hot coffee in Dave's lap to get the poster,
however we still have these choices for remaining contestants:
cut off toes
cut off thumbs
crush right foot with hammer
break arms
amputate right leg below the knee
crack skull with ball club
put in Iron Maiden
drive car over
sabotage car brakes
and shake hands while wearing suppository bomb....... of course, you will have
to insert the suppository in yourself, so this one may be such a good idea
