More Reviews of The Postman Always Rings Twice

The Postman Always Rings Twice is a masterclass in noir…

A truly wonderful film with not a weak moment. James M. Cain's novel is electrified for the screen…

I kept waiting for this to be awesome. It isn't. :(…

A restless beautiful housewife is stuck in a roadside diner with her older mundane husband…

It could have been a better film noir without the many coincidences. Lana Turner is a hot babe…

A sexy post-war Noir starring Lana Turner, this film captures some basic American attitudes: wanderlust, ambition, and romantic, impossible love…

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

Film Noir at it's best. When Lana Turner drops the lipstick for John Garfield to pick up. It is on from there…

Enjoyable noir that seems to plod a little…

Never read the book, but I got the feeling that the film was a little bit rushed. It felt a little bit flat and lacked a bit of punch…
