- His novels The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Serenade, Mildred Pierce and The Butterfly brought him critical acclaim and an immense popular readership in America and abroad.
- Though Cain never delivered a successful Hollywood screenplay, several of his novels were made into highly regarded films, among them Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce and The Postman Always Rings Twice.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The James M. Cain article was read about 66,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
