Jessica Lange | ‘The Postman Always Rings Twice’ [1981]
The Postman Always Rings Twice is a favourite film and the story fascinated me not least for the extraordinary palpable chemistry between Jessica Lange and Jack Nicholson although the story goes it ended her marriage to lifelong sweetheart Sam Shepherd! You can see why!! Lange has always been a favourite actor since Frances and even her version of King Kong but the erotic tension in Postman is astonishingly mesmerising.
The first version with legendary stars Lana Turner and John Garfield was mesmerising but that they could have done it in the 20th century with the same steam and passion I think they would have rivalled the 80's version.although Turner refused to see the remake and described it as pornographic (without seeing it!)
