I went into this one thinking that I had seen this one before but soon realized that I must've been thinking about the '80s re-make, or just…

The Postman Always Rings Twice is a masterclass in noir…

This is one of the most interesting films noir I've seen, and it brings us a story based on a novel written and that would be adapted to cinema…

Great film noir…

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

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

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

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

The affair starts in such a ridiculously implausable way. both of lana's relationships are implausible beyond absurdity…
