THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE DIRECTED BY TAY GARNETT In this film noir classic, Lana Turner stars as Cora Smith, the frustrated wife of a small-town gas-station owner. The screen ignites when Cora meets drifter Frank Chambers (John Garfield) and feels that he's her ticket out. The seduction includes plans to murder her boring husband, which sets their affair on a downward spiral toward doom. Due to censorship guidelines, the James M. Cain novel upon which the film is based had been considered unfilmable, but the script was tailored to retain a sordid edge without all the lurid incidents. 1946, U.S., BW, 113 minutes. |
