"I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent."
~ James M. Cain, born today, 1892.

The first half of Bob Rafelson's 1981 The Postman Always Rings Twice promises to be the best-ever adaptation of Cain's novel, with the right of mix of sleaziness, sweatiness and desperation. The second half is a trainwreck.

Read #ThePostmanAlwaysRingsTwice today. Easy to rip through & the first 30s #crime #noir classic I’ve read. Such mad economy of words that it’s sometimes a tiny bit difficult to figure out who’s talking but in general works brilliantly. Loved it. #JamesMCain #books #bookstadon

My James M. Cain binge comes to end. It's been a rollercoaster of cads & rotters doing mischief. No-one quite does it like he did. Out of 20 books, my fav is still Postman Always Rings Twice. Hard-boiled magic...

I've been binging on James M Cain & this is a 5-in-1 doozy. Postman always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pearce...absolute classics. Full of villains who snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...
