BODY HEAT is the kind of film that I like. I knew 10 minutes into this movie that it was my kind of movie. The kind of movie that a sleazy and horny guy like me would enjoy. I almost felt like getting a drink while watching this. The jazz bars, the sweaty evenings, the beer cans, the cigarettes, the blondes - all of this is foregrounded to create a very sleazy yet classy aura.
This was made in the time when pussies like WILLIAM HURT and TED DANSON were making their mark as Hollywood leading men. But HURT does a good job here. i liked the way he carried himself. he was really thin and fit and had great body language. And KATHLEEN TURNER is very very sensual. The two of them have great chemistry. mickey rourke who played a supporting role had this to say about hurt: [on making Body Heat (1981)] I remember doing the scenes with William Hurt, who was a pretty big movie star at the time. And I'm thinking: "Well, if that's a movie star, I'm not going to have no problem in this town."
The heat of Florida was probably exaggerated a bit, especially in the sex scenes. But the opulent lifestyle of the rich in Florida is nice to look at. I wonder if this is one of the best films based in Florida. JOHN BARRY's score is used to great effect. This really is a great film noir.
(8/10)
