Blu-ray Reviews of Body Heat [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: film noir in color
Summary: 5 Stars
Lawrence Kasdan is a great screenwriter. (If only George Lucas had hired him to write the "Star Wars" prequels...) His directorial debut is an over-ripe homage to film noir. On the assumption you haven't seen "Body Heat", I won't say anything about the story, except that the film's most-famous line should tell you exactly what's going on. The interest lies in seeing how it all plays out. And though reviewers often compare "Body Heat" with other noir classics, the one it most-closely resembles thematically is rarely mentioned.
Watching "Body Heat" for the third or fourth time (I saw it in its original run), I was aware that Kasdan introduces several plot points and coincidences that aren't needed to make the story play the way it does. Removing them would actually strengthen the film. But you probably won't notice them on first viewing, paying more attention to Kathleen Turner's legs. (I was looking at T&A, but it wasn't Turner's.)
There's a lush John Barry score, which includes a section (repeated several times) in which he perfectly pastiches Bernard Herrmann.
The supplementary material reveals that Alan Ladd Jr wanted Kasdan to remove William Hurt's mustache, stating that it made him look "sleazy". It would be more correct to say that it makes him look stupid.
The Blu-ray transfer is good, but lacks the constant extreme sharpness I (perhaps unreasonably) have come to expect. Regardless, it's better than what you'd see in a theater. I'd give it a B. One reviewer's claim that this is a terrible transfer with washed-out color certainly doesn't describe the disk /I/ purchased.
