When the movie focuses on Lana Turner and John Garfield plotting murder, the film is fun, fine, and thrillingly trashy…

I don't care for ether version, I hate the story…

Great film noir…

Steamy saucey post WWII noirish entertainment…

I really enjoyed the twists and turns the journey this well-crafted tale takes…

Kinda falls apart here or there but eventually gets back onto the rails. Most of the movie is very good though. Lots of fun…

The Postman Always Rings Twice entertains its audience with a tale of attempted murder gone awry, and of course imposes the Hays' code staunch…

Less steamy than the remake but that is to be expected for the era it was made…

Gripping tale doubles as allegory about exploited workers and economic revolt…

OK film noir. Lana Turner way over-acts. Too long. Out of no where Garfield goes to Mexico with a woman he happens to meet…
