Criterion’s 4K digital restoration of Body Heat, supervised by editor Carol Littleton and approved by director Lawrence Kasdan, pops on 5.19.26.
If they’ve tealed this thing, there will be hell to pay…that’s all I’m going to say. Body Heat is all sweaty colors…hazy sunlight, amber-lighted bars and street lights.
William Hurt‘s Ned Racine seems to be making it with an Elizabeth Short/Black Dahlia version of Kathleen Turner‘s Maddy Walker…severed in half, I mean.
Hurt never so much as looks at a gun in Kasdan’s film, much less picks one up.
