Customer Reviews of The Postman Always Rings Twice
This is second to none version. A masterpiece was due to the original as well as the powerful combination of charismatic persona, Lana Turner and John Garfield, Impressive acting, fine directing. Lana Turner plays typically calculating femme fatale. However mysterious sensual unique. Postman as doom-ridden victim, John Garfield delivery catastrophe while the harvest of evil affairs causes inevitable retribution. This is a serious crime drama, but the other side a cynical justice drama.
Film Noir Circa 1946
Director Tay Garnett's adaptation of James M. Cain's THE POSTMAN ALWAYS PLAYS TWICE holds up well after sixty years. In spite of the restraints the director had to work with during that period, Lana Turner as Cora Smith and John Garfield as Frank, the couple who plot the murder of Cora's husband Nick, still manage to heat up the screen. The sexual chemistry is there and all that late-night frolicking they do at the beach gets right erotic. The film though interesting is less than perfect. It takes a little effort on the part of the viewer to believe that Cora prances around her husband's diner that is hardly more than a greasy spoon-- in the middle of the Depression-- dressed all in white, in a turbin, short shorts, heels and showing her midriff. And only a Hollywood star of the calibre of Ms. Turner would return from a swim perfectly coiffed in a dry swimsuit. Additionally, in the ending minutes of the film Garfield hits the viewer over the head in a wordy explanation, just before he is to be executed, of what the title of the movie really means.

>That a sixty-year-old movie is still watched and enjoyed, however, for more reasons than just its camp effect speaks volumes for it. This is not a bad way to spend two hours of your evening.
A milestone Noir!
This anthological Noir remains as one the most ambitious exponents of this genre. It 's by itself a kaleidoscopic vision about the human condition `s miseries. Greed, ambition, murder, betrayal and double moral carried until its last consequences. The inspiration belonged to James Cain but the superb approach of Tay Garret, the towering performance of John Garfield and the alluring presence of the captivating Lana Turner in that unforgettable first plane that constitutes his first appearance on the screen still remains as one the most supreme erotic moments in the story of the Cinema.
