The Postman Always Rings Twice Reviews
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Part sultry romance, part mystery thriller, the movie continues to keep audiences involved with its edgy character relationships and unforeseen tensions.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Whilst 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.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...has little of the insinuating nature of the best film noir.
Variety
Variety Staff
Development of the characters makes Tay Garnett's direction seem slowly paced during first part of the picture, but this establishment was necessary to give the speed and punch to the uncompromising evil that transpires.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
The 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.'
Tampa Tribune
Bob Ross
Better than the remake
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Garfield and Turner electrify; there's no nudity or on-screen sex in the picture, yet the erotic charge between these two is incredibly potent.
All Movie Guide
Dan Jardine
The characters are corrupt at a level so basic that no amount of absolution can cleanse them of their sins
Filmcritic.com
Mark Athitakis
what it lacks in sex it gains in passions of other sorts. It smolders.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The magic in the film is in the chemical reaction between Garfield and Lana, their performances are sizzling.
InSession Film
Dave Giannini
In this film, Turner plays the femme fatale, but there is subtlety to her performance that is hard to match.
