Kathleen Turner is gorgeous. William Hurt is stupid. Well, actually, not thinking with his brain. She even says to him, “You’re not too smart. I like that in a man.” But he was not listening, I guess.
An earlier film, 1944, with the same general plot is “Double Indemnity” starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray — poor dumb Fred didn’t have a chance either.

I had forgotten about Richard Crenna. Another great actor!
