The Postman Always Rings Twice is a slice of Americana, a small literary gem from the 1930s. (Never mind that it was naughty enough to be banned in Boston.) The book translated well to the screen in a movie adaption from 1946, with Lana Turner and John Garfield thoroughly believable as murderous lovers. Porto das Caixas (Port of Boxes), a 1962 Brazilian film directed by Paulo César Saraceni starring Irma Alvarez. Free, unaccredited version. [36] An amoral young tramp. A beautiful, sullen woman with an inconvenient husband. A problem that has only one grisly solution—a solution that only creates other problems that no one can ever solve. I can see why this story was adapted to film so many times, as it has such great potential in that format as well… though I must confess, I have seen none of the adaptations, and while I would love to now, I’m glad I hadn’t. The plot went in so many unexpected directions, that I’m glad I didn’t know where it was going until the very end.This classic novel by James Cain is full of flawed people, violence, lurid sex, bad choices and doomed people. It’s one of the earliest examples of noir and a book that was both successful and notorious when it was published in 1934. Despite its age, The Postman Always Rings Twice still holds up and is something that any fan of this edgier type of crime fiction should read.

In an episode from Sesame Street, a short story titled The Postman Always Rings Twice is featured in a segment. But unlike the original novel, the plot takes the title more literally. In it, Grover desperately hopes for the postman to come, but instead, other service people arrive ringing at different numbers. By mid-1934, the whole country was talking about the book, which was well on its way to becoming one of the most phenomenal successes in publishing history. —Biographer Roy Hoopes in Cain (1982) [10]
