This is a steamy film with a well-written script about dull, Florida lawyer Ned Racine (William Hurt) who has a relationship with an intriguing woman Matty (Kathleen Turner) who he first sees at an outdoor concert. Later, Matty invites Ned into her home and manipulates him into killing her older husband, Edmund (Richard Crenna). Matty uses Ned because she believes that his legal expertise will ensure not getting caught. But, unplanned events turn the "easy" killing into something else, and Matty and Ned become prime suspects. A real sizzler by Lawrence Kasdan.
