January of this year became Pia Zadora Month at B-Movie Enema. I picked out five movies in which she appeared in as not herself but as actual characters in the plot. They are all kind of infamous, but none more than Butterfly.

“La morte paga doppio” di James M. Cain | Valerio Tagliaferri

The first half of Bob Rafelson's 1981 The Postman Always Rings Twice promises to be the best-ever adaptation of Cain's novel, with the right of mix of sleaziness, sweatiness and desperation. The second half is a trainwreck.

Read #ThePostmanAlwaysRingsTwice today. Easy to rip through & the first 30s #crime #noir classic I’ve read. Such mad economy of words that it’s sometimes a tiny bit difficult to figure out who’s talking but in general works brilliantly. Loved it. #JamesMCain #books #bookstadon

Editor of The Strand: “like 2% of the time you hit the jackpot. I just feel so good. It’s worth it.”

“...the Washington Post echoed the critic Edmund Wilson’s famous verdict quoted above, saluting Cain’s “gruff, direct style that embodied the forcefulness of uncluttered colloquial speech and gave it the unobtrusive grace of good poetry”. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/may/26/james-m-cain-lost-story-blackmail-strand-magazine-andrew-gulli #lit #JamesMCain #Poet #GritLit
