DVD Synopsis
Bob Rafelson's remake of 1946's The Postman Always Rings Twice, with a screenplay by the award-winning playwright David Mamet, stars Jack Nicholson as Frank Chambers, a depression-era drifter who ends up at a diner run by Nick Papadakis (John Colicos), who offers Frank a job. Frank takes him up on the offer, but quickly begins a torrid affair with Nick's wife Cora (Jessica Lange). The adulterous lovers soon hatch a plan to kill Nick and share in the insurance payout. The second big-screen adaptation of the James M. Cain novel, the film garnered a certain degree of notoriety for the explicit sex scenes between Lange and Nicholson. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

I have to disagree with the blurb on here that says they plan to share in the insurance payout. Actually neither of them knew about the money until after they killed Nick. Ok, that said, I really liked this movie. Jack Nicholson did a stellar job in his role. Jessica Lange as well. There was a lot of man-on-woman violence, which I did not like, but overall the movie was gripping enough to keep me entertained. Movies Similar to "The Postman Always Rings Twice"
