Programmer's Pick

If you like your melodrama with a side of sweaty small-town scandal and more than a flash of skin, Hot-Blooded Woman delivers. Beverly Oliver’s Myrtle doesn’t just smolder—she combusts. Consider this a primer in mid-60s Southern sexploitation, where frustrated wives don’t stay quiet for long.
