Body Heat
Stars: William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, Mickey RourkeDirector: Lawrence Kasdan
Summary:
In this humid, atmospheric film noir, a sweltering summer in south Florida sets the stage for a dark romance between an attorney (William hurt – A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD) and a beautiful woman (a never-better Kathleen Turner – ROMANCING THE STONE, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?) as they plot her wealthy husband's early demise. Mickey Rourke's debut as an arson expert on parole is convincing and the script—based on the classic noir tale DOUBLE INDEMNITY--by director Lawrence Kasdan (SILVERADO, THE BIG CHILL) is dazzlingly treacherous.

While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jediand Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnityand other classics from the 1940s. In one of his most memorable roles, William Hurt plays a Florida lawyer unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit spun by Kathleen Turner (in her screen debut) as a married socialite who plots to kill off her husband with Hurt's assistance. Kasdan's dialogue is a hoot (sometimes it borders on satire) and the sultry atmosphere is a perfect complement to the perspiration-soaked chemistry between Hurt and Turner, whose love scenes caused quite a stir when the film was released in 1981. John Barry's score sets the provocative mood and both Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke are splendid in memorable supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon
