The newlyweds, Alvin and Gladys, were on a little vacation at the Big Chief Auto Court in Truckee, Calif. — it may have been their honeymoon — when they went out together to the local cinema to see “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” It was September of 1946, so it was the old film-noir version starring Lana Turner. As you'll surely remember if you've seen it (or a more recent remake of it), this is a film in which Turner's character, Cora Smith, seduces a drifter named Frank and convinces him to murder her husband for her so that the two of them can take over ownership of his restaurant. After the film, Gladys was in a pensive mood as she turned to Alvin, the eager 23-year-old cowboy she'd married in Reno a day or two before. “It's too bad something like that can't happen to the doctor,” she remarked to him, innocuously. By “the doctor,” she meant Dr. Willis Broadhurst, a prominent Jordan Valley rancher and chiropractor — her other husband. Or, rather, one of her other husbands. At that particular moment, Gladys, a strikingly pretty and charismatic 40-year-old, was married to three different men, and there were four additional failed marriages in her rear-view mirror. If there was anyone for whom the wedding bells sounded like the alarm clock, it was Gladys. Or, maybe they sounded like funeral bells. Because less than a month later, Alvin actually did it.... (Jordan Valley, Malheur County; 1940s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2503a.gladys-broadhurst-film-noir-murderess-691.516.html)

As you'll hear in this 646th dose of Have You Ever Seen, The Postman Always Rings Twice is thought of by many to be the epitome of film noir.

Lana Turner is the lady in white who gets her employee John Garfield to kill for her. She's the standout between the two of them, but is she really the baddest of all femme fatales?

As we shift to the upcoming holiday, she highlights her favorite romantic dramas, including Casablanca, An Affair to Remember, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, as well as romantic comedies like The Shop Around the Corner and Moonstruck.Glenn also talks about how rom-coms have evolved and now include a wider variety of perspectives.“Films have become more diverse in terms of representation,” says Glenn. “We have better representation of people of color – of different races and ethnicities – on screen today, and we also see different gender orientations and sexual orientations. So, the classic rom-com formula of 'boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back' might now be 'boy meets boy' or 'girl-meets-girl.'"Glenn encourages moviegoers to watch movies in the theater instead of on their devices to get the full experience. She says romantic movies are just one of the many cultural systems that facilitate the “happily ever after” myth of love – and, if we're going to blame rom-coms, we have to throw music, theater and poetry into the mix.What's your favorite romantic movie to watch on Valentine's Day?

Guest Narrator: Michael Rutland, Austin, Tx. James M. Cain (1892-1977) was an American novelist, journalist, and screenwriter best known for his hardboiled crime fiction. Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Cain began his career as a journalist, working for The Baltimore Sun and The New Yorker. His experiences as a reporter heavily influenced his writing style, which was characterized by its directness, realism, and unflinching exploration of human nature's darker aspects. Cain's life was marked by personal struggles and failed marriages, which often found their way into his fiction, adding depth and authenticity to his characters and their predicaments. Cain is considered one of the founding fathers of both the noir and hardboiled crime fiction genres. His novels, such as "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1934) and "Double Indemnity" (1943), helped define these genres with their gritty, realistic portrayals of crime, passion, and betrayal. Cain's writing style, which favored sharp, concise prose and dialogue, set the standard for future generations of crime writers. His work also found success in Hollywood, with several of his novels being adapted into classic films noir, including "Double Indemnity" (1944) and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946), further cementing his legacy in the genre. While often used interchangeably, noir and hardboiled fiction have distinct characteristics. Hardboiled fiction typically features a tough, cynical protagonist, often a private detective or a criminal, navigating a corrupt and violent world. The emphasis is on action, dialogue, and the protagonist's struggle against external forces. In contrast, noir fiction delves deeper into the psychological depths of its characters, exploring themes of moral ambiguity, existentialism, and the inescapable consequences of one's actions. Cain's work often blurred the lines between these two genres, combining the gritty realism of hardboiled fiction with the psychological complexity and fatalism of noir. Dead Man In the powerful short story "Dead Man," James M. Cain showcases his mastery of the noir genre. The story follows a desperate man who accidentally kills a railroad detective and is subsequently consumed by guilt and paranoia. As the protagonist attempts to establish an alibi and evade capture, he finds himself engaged in a psychological battle with his own conscience, which proves to be just as relentless as the authorities pursuing him. Cain's signature style is on full display in "Dead Man," with its taut, economical prose, vivid characterization, and uncompromising exploration of guilt and desperation. The story serves as a testament to Cain's ability to craft complex, emotionally charged narratives within the confines of the short story format. The figure of the rail-riding hobo has long been a staple of American fiction, representing a sense of freedom, adventure, and escape from the constraints of society. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the United States underwent rapid industrialization and urbanization, many writers turned to the hobo as a symbol of resistance against the dehumanizing effects of modern life. Authors such as Jack London, John Dos Passos, and Jack Kerouac celebrated the hobo's unconventional lifestyle and spirit of rebellion. In "Dead Man," James M. Cain offers a darker take on this iconic figure, depicting the protagonist's life as a rail-riding hobo as a desperate, precarious existence. By placing his character in this context, Cain not only taps into a rich literary tradition but also subverts it, exposing the harsh realities and psychological toll of life on the margins of society. James M. Cain's paternal grandfather, P. W. Cain, worked as a superintendent for the Hartford Railroad. This connection to the railway industry likely influenced James M. Cain's writing, giving him at least an interest in the railroads and those who lived on and around them.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're wrapping up our first full week of THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR and you can call it a FEMME FATALE FRIDAY FEAST with a cold side of murder. The original platinum blonde, Lana Turner, is in deep with a wily drifter and they set in motion a plot of murder so that her sad sap husband can be out of the picture while they move on with their happy lives. We're talking about Tay Garnett's 1946 adaptation of the steamy James M. Cain novel “THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE”. It stars Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway & Hume Cronyn.

This week we return to the 1950's, but this time to the height of Hollywood glamour. But the other side of that golden coin is a dark underbelly that seemed to follow actress Lana Turner around in her personal life, leading up to the death of her gangster boyfriend at the hands of her teenage daughter. We discuss her success and evolution as a legendary film actress, her many failed relationships fraught with deception and worse, and the events of the night that her abuser was stopped dead in his tracks. We also give a quick run down of the research on children that murder abusive adults.

In the weeks since George Santos was expelled from Congress, his story has been funnelled straight into the entertainment pipeline, from a memorable sketch on “Saturday Night Live” and reports of a film in the works at HBO to his own exploits on Cameo, where he's charging five hundred dollars apiece for personalized video messages. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz assess why Santos's story resonates with audiences, and the enduring appeal of the scammer narrative, from Herman Melville's “The Confidence-Man” to Meredith Wilson's “The Music Man.” Scammers embody—and exploit—a central tenet of the American Dream: the promise of a brighter future awaiting those audacious enough to reach for it. But their stories can also expose the weaknesses at the heart of our institutions. Why, then, do we keep coming back for more? “The level of enjoyment that we gain from these depictions of scams doesn't mean that the critique isn't there,” Fry says. “It's almost like we as audiences are also begging, ‘Please make this fun for us.' ” Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Every Day's a Holiday” (1937) “Inventing Anna” (2022) “Telemarketers” (2023) “The Confidence-Man,” by Herman Melville “The Dropout” (2022) “The Fabulist,” by Mark Chiusano “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley” (2019) “The Music Man” (1957) “The Postman Always Rings Twice” (1946) The “Simpsons” episode “Marge vs. the Monorail” (1993) “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013) “Trafficked With Mariana van Zeller” (2020 – present) New episodes drop every Thursday.

Author and film historian Sloan De Forest joins to discuss Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE starring Malcolm McDowell. The 1971 dystopian science fiction film based on Anthony Burgess's novel follows a British teen Alex DeLarge and his gang of Droogs committing ultra-violence in a not-so-distant future. When convicted of a brutal murder, Alex is given an opportunity to submit to an experimental behavioral treatment, leading to unpredictable psychological damage. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE sparked controversy upon its release, some critics praising its visionary world-building, others decrying its depiction of rape and murder as irresponsible. Though labeled with an "X" rating, CLOCKWORK proved to be a box office hit and Best Picture nominee. After a series of alleged copycat crimes took place, the film was made unavailable in the UK for nearly three decades, but that only strengthened the film's reputation as a transgressive and singularly powerful work. On this episode, we take a long look into CLOCKWORK's artistry and infamy, as well as diversions into Working Girl, The Searchers, The Sopranos, Star Trek Generations, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Franklin & Bash, and much, much more! A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is currently available to stream with subscription to HBO Max.

What a CreepSeason 17, Episode 10The Murder of Johnny Stompanato Lana Turner was one of Hollywood's most alluring (and controversial) actors in movie history, with star turns in the original The Postman Always Rings Twice, Imitation of Life, and Peyton Place. She was blonde, sexy, and a supposed “maneater” with eight marriages and several lovers. In 1958 she dated the former war hero and current mob hooligan Johnny Stompanato who supposedly treated her terribly. Her only child, Cheryl Crane, at 14, stabbed Johnny to death after her mother tried to break off their relationship. Cheryl was acquitted of any wrongdoing (Johnny was a BAD dude) but spent years dealing with her childhood trauma and being the daughter of a movie queen. But did Cheryl really kill Johnny, or was she covering up for her mother?

Book Vs. Movie: The Postman Always Rings TwiceThe James M. Cain 1934 Novel Vs. the 1946 Lana Turner Classic FilmThe Margos are feeling like a couple of femme fatales after reading the 1934 James M. Cain novel and watching the 1946 film The Postman Always Rings Twice for Book Vs Movie. We put on our white turbans and try to decide which is better in this film noir-loving episode. We covered Cain in our past episodes for Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity and consider ourselves to be Cain fans! In this novel, Frank Chambers is a drifter who finds work in a California burger joint. The owner, Nick Papadakis (The Greek), is married to a beautiful, younger woman named Cora. Frank and Cora have a steamy affair with sex scenes and themes of violence causing it to be “banned in Boston.” It was also a smash hit that began Cain's literary career. There are those that say the plot resembles Emile Zola's novel Therese Raquin which neither one of the Margos has read. There are a few adaptations to pick from for this work but we prefer the 1946 Lana Turner & John Garfield version which is plenty sexy and is considered a classic for several legitimate reasons. First of all, Turner is at her hottest and leaves us breathless from her all-white wardrobe to her sly smile. Garfield (who would sadly pass away of a heart condition when he was just 39) is a sweaty mess of a man who looks like he would kill for this woman. In this ep the Margos discuss:The original novel and why it was “banned in Boston”The controversy surrounding this and the 1981 film Key differences between the book and the movieThe cast: Lana Turner (Cora Smith,) John Garfield (Frank Chambers,) Cecil Kellaway (Nick Smith,) Hume Cronyn (Arthur Keats,)Leon Ames (Kyle Sackett,) Audrey Totter (Madge,) and Alan Reed as Ezra Liam Kennedy.Clips used:Cora meets FrankThe Postman Always Rings Twice trailerCora calls for an ambulanceFrank kills NickLana Turner & Phil Donahue hate the 1981 updateThe 1981 trailerMusic George Bassman and Erich ZeislBook Vs.

The New Hollywood directors of the late 1960s and 70s were the first generation of Hollywood filmmakers to grow up studying Hollywood movies as art. In 1981-1982, a number of those directors made actual or virtual remakes of classic Hollywood noir films, including Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, and Bob Rafelson's The Postman Always Rings Twice; and Paul Schrader's Cat People. What was the value of revisiting the tropes and narratives of 1940s noirs in the 80s, beyond the fact that the sexual relationships implied in the original movies could now be depicted graphically? Today we'll talk about how these films played into the personas of stars Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner, how they challenged the standards of what could be shown in movies of the 80s – and how and why they were received extremely differently.
