The fever is not so hot.

I won't join the chorus of praises : "la rage au corps" is a misnomer :there's nothing really hot , furious or crazy in this trite story of a bad gal ;Françoise Arnoul was a reluctant prostitute in Habib's precedent effort ,"les compagnes de la nuit ",victim of a nasty pimp (Raymond Pellegrin ) ; they reverse the roles in "la rage au corps" : he's the good faithful lover whereas she 's got a tendency to cheat on him and even goes as far as to do streetwalking .But to make the audience believe they're going to watch a serious meaningful moral story, a doctor (or probably a shrink ) issues a warning in the very first sequence : "there are girls who ......Blah blah blah.....but they are victims who can redeem themselves...

Philippe Lemaire 's part is not developed enough and Jean-Claude Pascal 's appearance is hardly a cameo. Arnoul was sexier dressed in black leather in Decoin's "la chatte" .
