Movie Description
In this humid, atmospheric film noir, a sweltering summer in south Florida sets the stage for a dark romance between an attorney and a beautiful woman as they plot her wealthy husband's early demise. Mickey Rourke's debut as an arson expert on parole is convincing and the script by Kasdan is dazzlingly treacherous.
Synopsis
During one hot and sultry Florida summer, a shady lawyer launches into a torrid relationship with a lonely woman married to a rich businessman. As their relationship grows, she decides to enlist his help in killing her husband so that the two can live comfortably off his riches. After they've successfully completed the deed, the lovers' relationship sours, and they both become principal suspects in the police investigation.
Film Notes
Kathleen Turner's film debut and Lawrence Kasdan's directorial debut. Loosely adapted from James M. Cain and Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity".
Kim Zimmer replaced Turner in her role on "The Doctors."
Color by Technicolor.
