BODY HEAT

William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Richard Crenna

The Ladd Company; Directed by Lawrence Kasdan

Rated R; 118 minutes; 1981

An unhappily married socialite (Kathleen Turner) in the midst of a steamy affair with a dimwitted lawyer (William Hurt) convinces the lawyer to kill her husband. This study of complicity and sexual obsession told with a masterful flair for dialogue and a feeling for character is a fascinating and powerful drama.
