"You aren't too smart, are you? I like that in a man." Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky are getting under the sheets with Body Heat, writer-director Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 revamping of the film noir genre. Everything old is new again — this time with a sultry femme fatale for the ages, Matty Walker, played by the combustible Kathleen Turner in her screen debut, who seduces William Hurt's small town horndog lawyer, Ned Racine, into offing her husband and bringing about Ned's eventual cum-uppance. All to the tune of John Barry's alto saxed-up score and Richard H. Kline's sweaty cinematography. With supporting turns from Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, and Mickey Rourke, this granddaddy of the modern film noir delivers in the best tradition of Billy Wilder, Jacques Tourneur, Robert Siodmak, and Fritz Lang – with the added bonus of boobs, butts, and profanity. So, beware of the wind chimes, never buy a strange woman on the boardwalk a snow cone, and stay out of the boathouse. Click play for a fun conversation about sex, death, and humidity.
