Body Heat (1981, Lawrence Kasdan)

Lawyer William Hurt meets Kathleen Turner on a hot week in Florida and goes absolutely sex mad, ultimately buying bombs from Pyro Mickey Rourke and murdering Kathleen’s older husband Richard Crenna (of MST3K flick Marooned) so they can be (rich) together, but she vanishes with the money, letting Hurt get busted by his cop friend J.A. Preston (Remo Williams) and prosecutor Ted Danson (the year before getting buried in the sand in Creepshow). The director’s and Turner’s debut, with Hurt fresh from Altered States, and some good quippy dialogue. Filipe called it genre autopsy. I had high hopes, but this week I’d just seen better craft in The Stunt Man, better dialogue in The Jerk, and more perversion in Turks Fruit.
