A rare Anglo-Czech co-production, 90° in the Shade is a fascinating, little-seen drama directed by Jirí Weiss and co-written by David Mercer. Set at the height of summer, the film concerns shop assistant Anne Heywood, and two men who will affect her life: James Booth, the married man with whom she is having affair, and Rudolf Hrusínský, an auditor who has family problems of his own.
