Product Description

Product description

Body Heat (Widescreen/Full Screen)

Amazon.com

While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnity and other classics from the 1940s. In one of his most memorable roles, William Hurt plays a Florida lawyer unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit spun by Kathleen Turner (in her screen debut) as a married socialite who plots to kill off her husband with Hurt's assistance. Kasdan's dialogue is a hoot (sometimes it borders on satire), and the sultry atmosphere is a perfect complement to the perspiration-soaked chemistry between Hurt and Turner, whose love scenes caused quite a stir when the film was released in 1981. John Barry's score sets the provocative mood, and both Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke are splendid in memorable supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon

Enjoyed this when first released: excellent acting by very attractive people - with some 'helpful hints if you're planning the ultimate crime. Hot, humid, sweltering discomfort very effectively portrayed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hot, but maybe too hot
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020

Movie 10 of 1981 and 90 overall in my journey through films of my lifetime.

At one point I was an aspiring film maker. I'm sure that's a surprise. To start my journey we used to have a book store called "Hawley Cooke." I got lucky and found "Screenplay" by Syd Field. Turns out that book is standard fair for film students even today. He highlighted several movies and he raved about "Body Heat." He really loved the beginning in terms of visualizing the story. Needless to say I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. I'll say this: there is a big difference between the page and the screen.

Field was right that the opening was well done. The fire off in the distance sent an awesome, subtle message. Unfortunately "subtle" went out the window quickly. The constant reminders of how hot the temperature was became comedic. It got to the point that I started creating my own dialog for the characters where every conversation eventually, no matter how relevant, pertained to the heat. Someone should have parodied that in "The Naked Gun" or something. Anyway, the overt reference to the weather eroded the subtlety that Field lauded with great approval.

Something that was subtle and distributed with perfect pitch was the noir element. Similar to the origin story craze of the early 2000's we are set up for some of the noir esthetic. At one point a Bogey hat is introduced in the story as a sign of trust but to the audience it is a tip of the hat, as it were, to what is attempting to be accomplished. I loved this so much.

What hurt "Body Heat" the most was our featured la femme fatal's omniscience. Similar to "Vertigo," her scheme required perfect mind reading and almost God like control of space and time to pull off her plan. Very far fetched. For many this is not a problem. Personally I can't always look past it. In the case of "Inception" its flaws don't trouble me at all. Not so with "Body Heat."

Pros
-great story despite its flaws
-great acting
-music is perfect albeit dated
-Noir done right

Cons
-Some dialog is contrived
-story requires more suspension of disbelief than I care to handle
-more subtle and creative solutions to creating an atmosphere would have been well received

Body Heat ist ein sehr guter Film! Kathleen Turner, die eine meiner Lieblingsschauspielerinnen ist, gibt ihr sexy Debut.
Die Südstaatenatmosphäre ist sehr gut eingefangen worden, die Musik passt hervorragend zur Handlun (John Barry), was aber das tollste ist, ist die Geschichte ansich. Da will ich natürlich nicht zuviel verraten, aber zu den üblichen 0815-Krimis ist das mal eine Abwechslung.
Fünf Sterne für einen Film voller überraschender Wendungen!
