        Cain's novel appears to have been a favorite of the Italians,
immediate pre- and (practically) post-Neorealist. Antonioni's *Cronoca
di un amore* (*Story of a Love Affair*) contains strong narrative
overtones of both Cain's novel and Visconti's *Ossessione.* Indeed,
Antonioni's film seems almost a hybrid of *The Postman ...* and Wilder's
*Double Indemnity,* a Raymond Chandler adaptation of Cain's novel of the
same name.
