“Heat” is a parody of “Sunset Boulevard.” Joey Davis, an unemployed ex-child actor, uses sex to get his landlady, Lydia, to reduce his rent, and then tries to exert his influence on Sally Todd, who is now washed-up and wasn’t even more than slightly important at the height of her career. Sally tries to help Joey, until he realizes that she just isn’t well-connected enough to be of any service to him. The affair is complicated by Sally’s psychotic, maybe-lesbian-or-maybe-not daughter Jessica, who tries to muscle in on her mother’s relationship with Joey.

RIP Sylvia Miles ( September 9, 1924 – June 12, 2019).
The plot, and acting were poor. Mainly lots of dirty language. There were a few scenes that were sexually interesting, bul no full frontal nudity.
That was CRAZY STUFF!
The daughter is a scream.
Sure, the acting is perfunctory and the script all over the joint but there was a couple of moments of *near*decent cinematography.
Great camp fun.
