References

    • Double Indemnity (1944)

      The story and characters closely parallel the earlier film. Ned, Matty and Oscar are Walter, Phyllis and Keyes respectively.
    • The Burglar (1957)

      The scene in the bar in which Matty pretends to rebuff Ned is almost identical to the scene in this film when Della rebuffs Nat but encourages him to meet up later.
    • The Doctors (TV Series 1963–1982)

      A key plot point of "Body Heat" hinges on the resemblance of Kim Zimmer to Kathleen Turner. Zimmer replaced Turner when she left the soap opera The Doctors, and Turner recommended Zimmer for Body Heat, for this reason.
