At a diner there he finds Cora (Jessica Lange), a beautiful woman who is married to an old Greek immigrant named Nick. Frank and Cora have a passionate affair. Cora's stuck in a rut, and she wants to start over. They could start a new life together if they could just get rid of Nick. Can Frank and Nora get away with it?Directed by Bob Rafelson, featuring a screenplay by David Mamet, and released in 1981, this second English language film adaptation of The Postman Always Rings Twice is best remembered for Nicholson and Lange's table scene.note  The first two adaptations were the 1939 French film The Last Turning, directed by Pierre Chenal, and the 1943 Italian film Ossessione, directed by Luchino Visconti.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare the 1946 version with Lana Turner. Both the 1946 and 1981 versions are currently owned by Warner Bros., with the 1946 version being part of the Turner Entertainment library, and the 1981 version being inherited from Lorimar.

Hotter and Sexier: The 1946 version couldn't feature sex scenes; this one could and did.

Downer Ending: They aren't caught, but Cora is killed in a car accident soon after being acquitted. In the book, however, Frank is convicted for Cora's murder; in this adaptation they left that out.
