May 2, 1946 –
James M. Cain’s excellent crime thriller, The Postman Always Rings Twice, opened on this date.
The on-set sexual tension between John Garfield and Lana Turner was clear to all involved with the film. Their first day together, he called out to her, “Hey, Lana, how’s about a little quickie?” to which she replied “You bastard!“
I guess the postman does really ring twice.
