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

Atmospheric story of lust, desire and murder…

This movie is every bit the epitome of film noir that such classics as Double Indemnity are…

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

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

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

Its like watching a lesser Hitchcock film…

I've seen several adaptations of this story myself, nothing at all matched what we saw in Tay Garnett's The Postman Always Rings Twice…

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

Not sure if this was better than the later version…
