Attorney Ned Racine's life coasts along in neutral -- until he meets a siren in white (with a well-to-do husband) named Matty Walker. Ned knows Matty's the kind of woman a man would kill to be with. So he does.
William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale echoing 1940's film noirs but charged with an energy and passion that can only flare in the 80's. Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadows the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourists and Grand Canyon. Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth.
 


Editor's Note

In this humid, atmospheric film noir, a sweltering summer in south Florida sets the stage for a dark romance between an attorney and a beautiful woman as they plot her wealthy husband's early demise. Mickey Rourke's debut as an arson expert on parole is convincing and the script by Kasdan is dazzlingly treacherous.


Plot Summary

During one hot and sultry Florida summer, a shady lawyer launches into a torrid relationship with a lonely woman married to a rich businessman. As their relationship grows, she decides to enlist his help in killing her husband so that the two can live comfortably off his riches. After they've successfully completed the deed, the lovers' relationship sours, and they both become principal suspects in the police investigation.

5 of 5 LAW SCHOOL 101 Saturday, November 27, 1999
stec from Glenview IL  
This title should be on the required reading list of every Law School student. From William Hurt to Kathleen Turner to Mickey Rourke, this flick is tops and the best way to study the otherwise dry legal topic of Future Interests that I know of.
