Summary: "More Warming than Ben Gay"
Comment: This movie has echoes of "Double Indemnity" which I also loved. When you mix a female sociopath with a stale marriage and an easy to manipulate PI, throw in sweltering heat, a bathtub full of ice cubes, and just the right undergarmets for the occasion, well you have got an unstable explosive device. Kathleen Turner and William Hurt are sizzling when not designing diabolical plans. The person I watched most, however was Ted Danson, playing a nerd with hornrimmed glasses. Great! Little Stevie Wonder must have had scenes like this in mind when he wrote "Fingertips, Part One."

Summary: Body Heat is Hot Film Noir.
Comment: "That man is gonna die for no reason but . . . we want him to."
Body Heat is a steamy, neo-noir drama written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan, also known for The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. Inspired by classic 1940's film noir like Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity, Kasdan's 1981 directorial debut features an all-star cast including William Hurt, Kathleen Turner (in her film debut), Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, and Mickey Rourke (in his breakthrough role). It tells the story of a smarmy, small-town Florida lawyer, Ned Racine (Hurt), who becomes entangled with Matty Walker (Turner), a femme fatale who is plotting to murder her wealthy husband, Edmund (Crenna), to collect his money. The summer temperatures are hot, but as the film's title suggests, the torrid affair between Ned and Matty gets even hotter. After enlisting the help of a sleezy firebug named Teddy Lewis (played to perfection by Mickey Rourke), Racine murders Matty's husband before wising up to her deceiptful motives. Ted Danson plays District Attorney Peter Lowenstein.
There are at least five good reasons to experience the pleasures of Body Heat:
1. Kathleen Turner's sexually confident performance as Matty Walker, a femme fatale with the seductive powers to get a man to do anything for her, even murdering her husband for her. "To see her is to need her," Roger Ebert writes in his review.
2. The sultry, on-screen chemistry between Hurt and Turner, contrasted by their cool, well-written dialogue. ("You're not too smart, are you?" Matty says to Ned upon first meeting him. "I like that in a man.")
3. Mickey Rourke's supporting performance as Ned's sleezy client, Teddy Lewis. In a touching moment, he offers to handle the firebomb so Ned won't get hurt.
4. The film's unpredictable plot twists and double crosses.
5. John Barry's provocative, show-stealing score.
This Deluxe Edition DVD features additional scenes; a Featurette: "Body Heat: The Plan Body Heat: The Production Body Heat: The Post-Prodution;" and interviews with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. Highly recommended.

William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale of desire and skullduggery that echoes 1940s film noirs but is charged with an energy and passion that could only flare in the '80s. Aided by a sultry John Barry score, Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadowed the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth. DVD Features:
