More Reviews of The Postman Always Rings Twice

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…

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

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

Great film noir…

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

This film is imperfect, but still very well done…

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

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…

The Postman Always Rings Twice. What kind of title is The Postman Always Rings Twice…

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