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.
