The fact is they haven't really made 'em like Body Heat since this film's release in 1981. Obviously a callback to the halcyon days of film noir, and specifically to Billy Wilder's iconic Double Indemnity, Body Heat has it all: a convoluted plot with one twist after another, a sultry femme fatale (Kathleen Turner in what may be her finest performance), a dumb and in love puppet (William Hurt in what may be his finest performance), and a film literally basking in the dusky and muddled ambience which is the hallmark of all great noir films. "They don't make 'em like they used to" may be a well-worn adage, but there's always an exception to the rule, and no finer example than Lawrence Kasdan's brilliant Body Heat can be found in the annals of film.
