About Summer Heat
A wealthy senator plans to build a damn in a remote part of Northern California. The local hillbilly types don't appreciate his progressive ideas. They wreak havoc upon the senator's boating party. The senator gets a corncob up his ass and Desiree is raped.
Directed by Alex de Renzy, Summer Heat leans on a strong ensemble — Delania Raffino, Jamie Gillis, Desiree Cousteau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1979.
