The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)

We’re wrapping up our first full week of THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR and you can call it a FEMME FATALE FRIDAY FEAST with a cold side of murder. The original platinum blonde, Lana Turner, is in deep with a wily drifter and they set in motion a plot of murder so that her sad sap husband can be out of the picture while they move on with their happy lives. We’re talking about Tay Garnett’s 1946 adaptation of the steamy James M. Cain novel “THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE”. It stars Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway & Hume Cronyn. Will these tragic lovers find a way to be together or will their desperation be their undoing? Shout out to that cat, by the way. It really stole the show. Absolutely wild how it just climbed the step ladder like that. I love cats. They’re always up to something.
