The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) starring Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway, Hume Cronyn. Cora and Nick (Turner and Kellaway) are a married couple who own a diner by the side of the highway; Frank (Garfield) is the hired hand who arrives hitchhiking one day. Things get sticky when Cora and Frank fall in love, then decide to do away with the likable Nick. Cronyn plays a sleazy lawyer named Keats who, after Nick's death, ends up playing Cora and Frank off against each other. Many complications follow, but suffice it to say that Cora and Frank both end up paying for their crime. I was not too thrilled by this film. In particular, I thought the chemistry between Turner and Garfield seemed phony. Neither was a great actor. The captions on this disc are very good. Grade: B
