Body Heat

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

In 1981 the studio took a chance letting screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan also direct this, his first directorial outing. At the time he only had two screenwriting successes, "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The studio was also queasy about the director's use of then relatively unknown actors William Hurt and Kathleen Turner.
But this neo noir was a success from the gitgo, with its story, plot, acting, supporting cast, and just about perfect musical score. Turner in particular is a stunning, incredibly sexy, update of the role played by Barbara Stanwick in "Double Indemnity". The current DVD has been remastered and is anamorphic with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. A classic I return to often.
