Body Heat Review
It's very warm in the stuffy interiors of this thinly disguised remake of Double_Indemnity. Kathleen_Turner is so sultry in this Deep South film noir potboiler that it's hard to imagine that this was her first starring role. She plays a devious wife who spins a web that traps a naïve, mesmerized lawyer (William_Hurt) in a scheme to kill her husband. Writer-director Lawrence_Kasdan, in his directorial debut, keeps the suspense and eroticism at full power, with plot twists aplenty. He expertly uses the heat of the coastal Florida milieu; the film practically sweats. The film launched the careers of Turner and Kasdan and jump-started a noir revival. Ted_Danson, Mickey_Rourke, and Richard_Crenna provide solid support. Kasdan, Turner, and Hurt reunited in 1988 for The_Accidental_Tourist. Michael Betzold, Rovi
