Alex Film Society Presents The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)

The original The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). Evil and deceit lie just below the surface when Lana Turner and John Garfield collide, generating some serious heat as Frank, a drifter, and Cora, a sexy diner waitress who is married to a much older man, played by Cecil Kellaway. Cora has big plans for the diner which her husband owns and for Frank, too, but first she needs to make her unsuspecting husband disappear…with Frank’s help. Another hard-hitting, sultry drama from the pen of James M. Cain (Mildred Pierce). Directed by Tay Garnett and co-starring Hume Cronyn, Leon Ames, and Alan Reed. Look for lots of SoCal locations!
