	dOc DVD Review: The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
		Yet of all the fatalistic femmes, Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice is perhaps the quintessential specimen.
		Both Turner and Garfield are pitch-perfect in their parts, creating a steamy chemistry that carries the film and adds dimension to the hard-boiled story.
		Always an underrated actress whose beauty overshadowed her talent, Turner files perhaps her finest performance, deftly complicating the femme fatale stereotype by layering Cora with just enough sincerity and softness to gain audience affection, and keep her true colors a mystery.

	The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
		The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) is one of the best film noirs of all time - and one of the earliest prototypes of today's 'erotic thrillers.' The screenplay (by Harry Ruskin and Niven Busch) was based on the controversial first novel/pot-boiler (1934) of the same name by notorious writer James M. Cain.
		This dark melodrama was the third screen adaptation of James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice - the previous two were Pierre Chenal's Le Dernier Tournant (1939) (French) and Luchino Visconti's first feature - the unauthorized Ossessione (1942) (Italian) with the setting transferred to Fascist Italy.
		Maybe the next one is the one I've always been lookin' for.

		Although Postman is undoubtedly a precise work of film noir, it's reputation may be based as much on it's mold-shattering relationship with MGM as on its artistic merit.
		Released by MGM, Postman was so far out of character for the studio that MGM had to borrow John Garfield to cast the leading role.
		Released in 1946 by MGM and featuring contemporary stars John Garfield and Lana Turner, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" is an often absorbing and exciting movie that for all its successes never manages to exhibit the dark and shadowy menace that makes for great noir.

		When Frank drifts into their roadside cafe, Greek immigrant Nick and his wife Cora have no idea of the devastating effect he'll have on their lives.
		The Postman Always Rings Twice Starring Val Kilmer, whose Hollywood roles run the gamut from blank to frankly narcissistic, delivers a splendid, un-starry, unselfish performance in his West End debut as the anti-hero of James M Cain's classic noir tale.
		And Charlotte Emmerson as Cora is a sensual bundle of hurt and ambition with Joseph Alessi doubling splendidly as the doomed husband and a wily lawyer.

		Postman is a must for every classic film fan's top ten list and for good reason.
		The film is a classic from beginning to end, with Lana, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway and Hume Cronin all at the top of their game and fitting together beautifully.
		Cain's novel of the same name, the plot centered around the fatal attraction of a married woman and her lover who scheme to do away with the woman's husband.

	The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		So I have now seen the Postman Always Rings Twice directed by Bob Rafelson and starring Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange twice now, and see it on its own terms without much to really compare it to.
		Perhaps my perceptions could change once I see the older Hollywood film (even though Luchino Visconti's own version of the book, Ossessione, is one of his masterpieces), but for the moment this is a fairly competent, sometimes exciting, and usually sensual story of lust, murder, thick plots and a few tight twists and turns.
		The sex scenes years later are still enticing, and the ending is a true whopper that is part of the story's best catharsis, though in its own formula still tragic.

	DVD Times - The Postman Always Rings Twice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Tay Garnett’s 1946 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice is a classic little noir film version of the James M. Cain novel that smoulders where the ugly and much more explicit 1981 remake starring Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange overstates.
		There are some irritating parallel tramline scratches running down the left-hand side of the print for about the first twenty minutes of the film, which is not always clearly visible, but can be very distracting once it is noticed.
		The 1946 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice is quintessential film noir, with a dark, storyline involving themes of fatal attraction, murder, flmail and betrayal, played with smouldering sensuality by the two leads.

	"The Postman Always Rings Twice" one of the most well-known operas of composer Stephen Paulus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Certainly The Postman is no piece of melodramatic offal; it is the tragedy of two people who have no knowledge of good or evil, and only become aware of their true natures when they are on the way down--and it is too late to avoid the Postman's second ring.
		In setting The Postman Always Rings Twice, I was motivated by two main features of the story--the dramatic, driving tension which runs throughout, and the underlying tenderness which evolves as the two main characters develop.
		It gave a reason for violent or lustful behavior on the part of Frank and Cora and provided me with plenty of room for musical creativity.

		Lana Turner and John Garfield hunger for something more in Tay Garnett's glossy soap opera noir, "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Based on James M. Cain's lusty potboiler, Turner is fantastic as the manipulative yet vulnerable Cora Smith and Garfield excellent as the drifter who can't get Cora or her dreams out of his blood.
		Whereas Wilder's Double Indemnity was a dark noir of twisted passion and greed set in Claifornia, Garnett's The Postman Always Rings Twice uses the bright sunshine and beaches of L.A. County in the 1940's to create a soap opera noir, a shining blonde Turner and a reluctant drifter Garfield at its center.

	The Postman Always Rings Twice, a CurtainUp London review
		I must be one of the few people who has seen neither film version of The Postman Always Rings Twice but I have the advantage of having no celluloid axe to grind or fond memory to live up to.
		There is a spectacular car crash as an old vehicle crashes through the artificial roof of the stage, its headlights illuminating the figures below and the car dominates the action later in the play, as a metaphor for the cloud which hangs over Frank and Cora.
		But having said that, The Postman Always Rings Twice doesn't strike that great production high note that one might expect.
