Drifter Frank Chambers arrives at a quiet California roadside restaurant where he meets and falls for drop-dead gorgeous Cora, the wife of restaurant owner Nick Smith. After weaseling his way into a job, the two begin a deadly love affair and cook up plans to end her marriage and start a new life together. After a few botched attempts at a clean break, they are forced to put their honeymoon on hold after being rerouted into the arms of a D.A. hot to convict and a corrupt lawyer with designs on Cora. Frank and Cora thought they packed just enough luck to avoid what should be unavoidable but the duo failed to account for the possible intervention of a formidable force that doesn't need a badge.
Leave your thoughts about The Postman Always Rings Twice.
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThe Postman Always Rings Twice is a masterclass in noir. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWith a plot hinging on twists and turns that might not have worked as well with less electricity than Turner and Garfield generate, Postman sizzles and flares with crackling tension. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostGripping tale doubles as allegory about exploited workers and economic revolt. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe magic in the film is in the chemical reaction between Garfield and Lana, their performances are sizzling. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe picture achieves its distinction through the smart way in which it has been made and through the quality of its representation of two passion-torn characters. |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksThe 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.' |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis 1946 film is a key work of the postwar period, dripping with demented romanticism and the venom of disillusionment. Tay Garnett directed, finding the pull of obsession in every tracking shot. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordGarfield and Turner electrify; there's no nudity or on-screen sex in the picture, yet the erotic charge between these two is incredibly potent. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelThis has little of the insinuating nature of the best film noir, as Lana Turner and John Garfield go from 0 to 60 in their first scene together. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisWhilst the Jack/Jessica version was entertaining it was seemingly only interested in 'pushing the envelope', this film doesn't need to do any of that - and doesn't - it just plays out the story, and that's gripping enough. |
