On this day, October 19, 1984, Crimes of Passion directed by Ken Russell was released in theaters. Starring Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins, John Laughlin, and Annie Potts, the film was a blend of thriller and erotica that pushed boundaries with its bold themes and performances. Despite a $3 million budget, it barely recouped its costs at the box office, grossing only $2.9 million. Though it didn’t make a huge splash commercially, Crimes of Passion has gained a cult following for its edgy storytelling and standout performances, especially from Turner and Perkins.
