Notes
Story Synopsis:
Hurt stars as Ned Racine, a womanizing lawyer who happens upon the stunning, but married, Matty Walker (Turner in her film debut). After their second meeting, a passionate affair brings the two together while Matty’s husband, Edmund (Crenna), is away on business. Soon their desires for each other cannot be confined and they conspire to kill Edmund, but neglect to cover all of their tracks. Sultry, sexually erotic encounters, burning suspense, as well as scorching Florida temperatures in the film, add to the overall heat of Body Heat.
DVD Picture:
The anamorphic widescreen DVD improves on sharpness and detail when viewed in the component video format and compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 23. The images are still softly focused with poor shadow detail and contrast. Color fidelity, though rich and warm, often seems plugged up and lacking in resolution. The slightest noise and artifacts are apparent throughout. The anamorphic and letterbox aspect ratio is framed at 1.78:1.
Soundtrack:
While the previous LaserDisc release was monaural, the Dolby® Digital soundtrack on the DVD is discrete, but with a 4.0 mix rather than the credited 5.1 mix. Surrounds are subtle and monaural with a music score that is lush, yet veiled in fidelity.
