'The Postman Always Rings Twice'

Per this 1,001 project, I think I've read and seen the book and film of a particular title once.

It was "Naked Lunch" and I could not have chosen a particular opus that was written one way and made into a film a total different way. Not that it matters cause the book was so screwy.

"The Postman Always Rings Twice" is the second. The story and film follow hand in hand, except for one thing.

In the film, they have a soliloquy where he describes the idea of a postman ringing twice, as in, you will always get your comeuppance.

But they don't have the same explanation or dialogue in the book. I guess the writers/director thought they needed to explain the title because the film was being consumed by wider audiences.

Good story, though.
