Frank Chambers drifts into a dusty town in rural California, looking for a good meal. At a diner there he finds Cora, a beautiful woman who is married to an old Greek immigrant named Nick. Frank and Cora have a passionate affair. Cora's stuck in a rut, and she wants to start over. They could start a new life together if they could just get rid of Nick. Can Frank and Nora get away with it?
The Postman Always Rings Twice was remade in 1981. What's best remembered is Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange's table scene.
Tropes used in The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981 film) include:
- Downer Ending: They aren't caught, but Cora is killed in a car accident soon after being acquitted. In the book, however, Frank is convicted for Cora's murder; in this adaptation they left that out.
- The Drifter: Frank Chambers
- Femme Fatale: Cora
- The Film of the Book
- Hotter and Sexier: The 1946 version couldn't feature sex scenes; this one could and did.
- The Perfect Crime
- The Remake
- The Vamp: Cora
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
