More Reviews of The Postman Always Rings Twice

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

What could be great noir ends up being death-row redemption drama. Eechh…

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

A gritty/macho film quite ahead of its time for 1946 & John Garfield was undeniably a presence on screen, Lana Turner knew how to turn heads…

Atmospheric story of lust, desire and murder--Superior film noir…

The Postman Always Rings Twice is a masterclass in noir…

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…

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

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

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