The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981)

I recently got the blu ray that was released a few of years ago with commentary by Rafelson, Nicholson and Mamet. The transfer is gorgeous and Nicholson and Lange are incendiary.

Also, the infamous sex scene leaves you wondering if the two leads really did fuck on camera. The way Nicholson grabs Lange's pussy is shocking and her reaction A's he'll penetrates her sounds all too real.

Fantastic performances by both of them.

Lange also displays all the physiological signs of reaching orgasm ( ie. the suddenly flushed face and chest; the breathing patterns, etc. ). According to Nicholson, the erection clearly seen through his pleated pants was real as the proposed prosthetic was nowhere to be found on set. Most believable M/F sex scene I have ever seen. Plus neither Nicholson nor Lange ever deny that the sex was real in numerous interviews. That scene makes the sex scenes in Basic Instinct and the other sex thrillers that followed TPART positively laughable.

R1 I noticed that both Nicholson and Lange never deny the stories. All Lange has ever really said is, "Jack is always naughty."

Funny enough, there's no nudity in the scene and yet there was an extended uncut version of the scene that infamously made the rounds in Hollywood, usually presented by Nicholson.

My question: If there never was any nudity, in the scene, what was there to cut? Hmmm.

Also, Lange is definitely cumming in the scene A's you detailed.

Is the extended uncut version available? I also read that Lange when referring to the scene said something to the effect of the realism of the sex was the directors choice which she respected and therefore went "all in" with. The foreplay is clearly real, why would they stop there.

It is a great film and the performances by the two leads are impeccable. Enjoy.

What a trashy movie. Jack Nicholson is simply a violent rapist.

He was going with Angelica Huston while this film was being made.

' He was going with Angelica Huston while this film was being made'.

All the more reason to fuck Miss Lange.

Love the bizarre headpiece Jack's wearing in this scene with Angelica but not quite sure why he's got it on.

I was a baby gay, and an older at the time boyfriend who was an editor at the young US magazine took me to a private screening. It was at a small space at Paramount’s offices on Columbus.

The coolest thing was that Jane Curtin sat next to us. She’d Just done the tepid High Cost of Living with Lange. Even though there were only a dozen people there, the group was electric.

At the end Jane turned to us and said something along the lines of ‘I knew this was where she was heading.’

As a kid it was very heady and exciting to be with a tiny group of industry insiders watching the beginnings of a significant career.

Not only did Anjelica make a brief appearance in "TPART," she also appeared briefly in Lange's next film "Frances," playing a mental patient in the asylum.

Per the commentary, Nicholson was the one who insisted on wearing the hat, to be "goofy", against Rafelson's better judgment.

Also, fascinating story, R7.

And I love that you know that, R8.
