Description
James Cain’s debut novel “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” written in 1934 and repeatedly adapted for film, became a classic of American literature. It tells the cruel and frank, scandalous and tragic story of lovers Frank and Cora, who decided to break the law for their happiness and well-being.
Since then, their life turned into a nightmare, and the fear of being caught didn’t let go for a single minute, poisoning their existence. Acquitted in court, the heroes believed they had gotten away with it. They didn’t know that the postman always comes twice, and that retribution for the crime they committed would catch up with them…

I needed it after three weeks in Tijuana, and I was still snoring when they pulled over on the shoulder to let the engine cool. Then they saw a leg sticking out from under the tarp and they tossed me out. I tried to talk my way out of it, but they just stared at me blankly — and my trick didn’t work. But they did give me a cigarette, and I walked down the road looking for breakfast. That’s how I ended up at “Two Oaks”…
