Heat, also known as Andy Warhol's Heat, is an American film released in 1972. Written and directed by filmmaker Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol, it starred Joe Dallesandro, Sylvia Miles and Andrea Feldman.
The film was conceived by Warhol as a parody of some sort of Sunset Boulevard.
Dallesandro plays Joey Davis, an unemployed former child star who supports himself as a hustler in Los Angeles. Joey uses sex to get his landlady to reduce his rent, then seduces Sally Todd (Miles), a former Hollywood starlet. Sally tries to help Joey revive his career but her status as a mediocre ex-actress proves to be quite useless. Sally's psychotic daughter Jessica (Feldman) further complicates the relationship between Sally and the cynical, emotionally-numb Joey.
