If you haven’t seen it already, check out The Postman Always Rings Twice. I saw it for the first time last night. Enjoyed it so much I ordered the book it’s based on this morning

Which version? The 1946 one with Lana Turner and John Garfield, or the 1981 version with Nicholson and Jessica Lange?
And have you watched “Double Indemnity”?
The 1946 version. I wasn’t aware there was an 81 version. I haven’t seen Double Indemnity but I ordered the book along with Postman. There was a Simpsons episode that did a parody of the plot but at the time I didn’t realize it
I haven’t seen either one, but I do have them on the list. (I also have the book on my list as well.)
I remember when the 1981 version was in theaters…
My Saturday Movie Group watched “Double Indemnity” (the Criterion edition) recently, and I thought that was a swell noir film. Edward G. Robinson is really underrated.
And those of a certain age may remember Fred MacMurray as the friendly dad from “My Three Sons”. “Double Indemnity” and “The Apartment” are revelations if that’s all you’ve ever seen him in.
I gotta see that. I love My Three Sons
True. But it’s funny how many times as an adult I watch an old movie and recognize it as something the Simpsons referenced. Like the first time I saw Dr Strangelove
