Crimes Of Passion
"Kathleen Turner gives the performance of her life. Grade: A" -Entertainment Weekly
By day, Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) is a prim workaholic fashion designer. At night she becomes China Blue, a kinky hooker on the streets of Los Angeles. But when she finds herself being followed by a private investigator (John Laughlin) and stalked by a fanatical preacher (a truly over-the-top performance by Anthony Perkins), Joanna's depraved double life threatens to explode. In a world ruled by mad passion and holy obsession, can one woman survive the most dangerous emotion of all?
Annie Potts and Bruce Davison co-star in this landmark adult thriller directed by the inimitable Ken Russell (Tommy, Altered States, Women In Love) that became one of the most controversial films of the decade. Crimes Of Passion is now presented in a razor-sharp new widescreen transfer and features discovered deleted scenes as well as shocking footage of graphic sexuality (including the notorious 'night-stick' scene) not contained in the original U.S. theatrical version.

The bad movie I liked - Blue_Bird
Quality wise, as a movie, probably it is not that great. It is a typical B-movie.
However, for some reason, the story and the lines just resonated incredibly with me. Deep meaning, moral strugle, double faces characters, thrill, difficult choices, it is all so life.8 out of 10 - chasnto
Although I have watched this now my third time since it first came out, I still loved it.
The "Ocean Blue" character played by Kathleen Turner keeps the audience captivated with her witty ways and her play on words. And the "priest" was an believably odd character which in its own way is believable.
Although there were some moments when I felt like I needed to roll my eyes, overall it is worth watching. It is titilating and entertaining.
Funniest scene - Ocean Blue playing T.W.A. flight attendant. HOT!
