Ned Racine (Hurt) is a lawyer in a small shabby town in Florida. He married Matty Walker (Turner). A passionate affair began, but it was not too long before they realized the only thing hindering their love is Matty's rich husband - Edmund (Crenna).
Though Lawrence Kasdan's film is set in today's South Florida, its characters move through an atmosphere that suggests the confluences of decor and demeanor in a 1940s film noir.
Amusing as this may be, there's something a bit studious about "Body Heat." Kasdan's ceiling fans and Venetian blinds often come across as film school affectations.
While Body Heat involves murder, fraud, a weak hero led astray and a seductive, double-dealing broad, it also incorporates something new: a sexual explicitness that the old films could only hint at.
