Review of Heat Wave

Heat Wave (1954)
7/10
A cold blonde, warm gin and a tired plot

Double Indemnity and the Postman Always Rings Twice this is not. Not by a long shot.

For one thing, the two leads have no chemistry and there is no sexual tension to drive them to murder.

Someone gets set up, and I won't say who.

This low budget quickie is entertaining but it is barely a b grade film.

The ending has very little twists or surprises.

The film is completely dull visually. No impressive locations or sets. They certainly didn't spend a lot of time and money on the script. In fact this film isn't worth the minimum characters to write a review.

You can't blame the actors. They are given very little.
