Netflix refers to their
four-star offering Body of Evidencewith
two perfectly descriptive words: steamy and suspenseful. The film category, erotic thriller, is right
on for this hot and sticky who done it or didn’t flick. An ever sensual Madonna
plays the lead role of Rebecca Carlson, a powerful and irresistibly beautiful
woman on trial for murdering her rich, old lover. Her
defense attorney, played by Willem Dafoe, is by far sexier than in most of his
later roles. Joe Mantegna, the DA, is
convinced the cause of death was premeditated sex which rendered the old
geezer’s heart permanently out of order.
Body of Evidence, produced by Dino De Laurentiis and distributed by Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer, was first released in 1993 with a censored R rating. The video
released some years later restored deleted scenes thus rendering the film even
hotter than the original. Although Roger Ebert considered this one his most hated
films, for reasons that escape me; this could become one of your favorites if
you enjoy real Hollywood movies with simulated
sex scenes galore that are steamy, steamy, steamy.
Madonna fans as well as court room drama fans
are urged to get their own copy of this film. It would look a lot more respectable
on the shelves of your home movie collection than well known X-rated films
such as Debbie Does Dallas. The only
potential hitch for porn lovers RE: Body
of Evidence would be the wealth of story line and dialogue. There’s plenty
of salacious celebrity nudity… enough to make anyone wonder if body doubles
were used. It’s also a great compromise for couples in which a porn-phobic
partner would acquiesce and agree to watch a sexy, sexy, sexy mainstream (sort of) film.
