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.
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.

Very interesting movie. It seems that William Hurt is a better actor than I give him credit for, but then again the only movies I had seen him in before this was The Incredible Hulk and Lost in Space. I didn't know this was Kathleen Turner's first movie until after I watched this."
