At the time of the novel's composition and publication, USPS
also delivered mail twice a day in some locations, at
least...wonder if that had anything to do with the
film-scripts implication cited below. TM

In the movie (the Garfield-Turner version, not the
Nicholson-Lange mess), Garfield uses the title line as a
sort-of explanation for why he ended up where he was (the
death house): he'd gotten away with a real murder, but
"the postman" rang again, nailing him for a murder that was
really an accident, thus making it not so unfair that he
going to die for something he hadn't done. As I recall,
there's none of this talk in the novel.
