The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) The Postman Always Rings Twice

The Postman Always Rings Twice ★★★½ 1946 Even without the brutal sexuality of the James M. Cain novel, Garfield and Turner sizzle as the lust-laden lovers in this lurid tale of fatal attraction. Garfield steals the show as the streetwise drifter who blows into town and lights a fire in Turner. As their affair steams up the two conspire to do away with her husband and circumstances begin to spin out of control. Tense and compelling. A classic. 113m/B VHS. Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway, Hume Cronyn, Leon Ames, Audrey Totter, Alan Reed; Director: Tay Garnett; Writer: Harry Ruskin, Niven Busch; Writer: Sidney Wagner; Cameo: George Bassman.
