The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981)

"The Postman Always Rings Twice" is the steamy 1981 remake of the noir classic, a tale of drifting desire and murder set against a dusty roadside diner. Jessica Lange stars as Cora, the restless wife whose smoldering affair drives the plot toward disaster. The film became notorious for its raw, explicit sex scene between Lange and Jack Nicholson, a sequence that pushed mainstream cinema into franker territory at the time. CelebMasta hosts 1 clip from the film capturing Lange bared and unguarded on screen, a piece of early-80s sexual candor that still holds up as one of her most talked-about performances.
