	Night of the Big Heat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Night of the Big Heat is a science fiction novel written in 1959 by John Lymington.
		A visiting scientist named Harsen reveals, ultimately, that the reason for the extreme heat is that an alien race of spiders are "beaming in" scouts from their home planet via an improbable "radio wave" ray which generates intense amounts of heat as a side effect.
		The novel was adapted into a 1967 film, Night of the Big Heat (also known as Island of the Burning Doomed) by Planet Film Productions.

	Earth Observatory Feature: Earth's Big Heat Bucket
		The ocean, they say, is Earth’s “biggest heat bucket.” And like a bucket placed under an overflowing sink, the ocean is filling up with the heat that increasing levels of greenhouse gases are preventing from escaping to space.
		Heat capacity is the amount of energy that must be put into something to change its temperature, and air has a very low heat capacity.
		One reason the ocean heats more slowly than the atmosphere is the difference in their total mass.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Fritz Lang, The Big Heat
		The Big Heat (1953), directed by Fritz Lang, represents family life as a sham, as a relationship of convenience, as perverse, and finally as so fragile and threatened that even an icon of domesticity becomes a weapon.
		The visual style of The Big Heat accentuates the positive characterization of the institution of family, while simultaneously presenting family life as helpless against the forces of evil surrounding it.
		I suggest that the thematic importance of the family in The Big Heat is paradigmatic for many film noirs, and the noir narrative’s relationship to that family must indeed be as important as its relationship to the urban milieu.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Big Heat
		The Big Heat received only a modest positive response in terms of both critical and box-office reaction upon its release in North America.
		It would be nice to be able to report that Columbia had gone the extra mile to present The Big Heat in as clean a transfer as some of the other recent DVD classic releases, but that is not the case.
		The Big Heat is one of the key films noir of the early 1950s.

		Williams will give the Heat a better ballhandler and playmaker at the point, where Damon Jones was strictly a three-point specialist.
		The trade was surprising because of the number of teams and players involved and also because of the Heat's willingness to revamp their roster after posting the second-best record in franchise history (59-23).
		The Heat only gave up one starter, Eddie Jones, but the trade is still a gamble.

	The Big Heat
		The Big Heat is among those movies; it's pretty much the usual story of a cop pushed too far and looking for revenge.
		The Big Heat follows the "cop movie rulebook" all the way, down to one of the team being snuffed out and providing inspiration, the standard dumb gweilo commander, and an "interesting" way for Lee's crippled hand to come into play during the climax.
		The Big Heat just has a "been there, done that" feeling, especially when compared to other crime/action films of the time -- specifically those by John Woo and Ringo Lam, who were still fully in their prime at this point.

		While Glenn Ford puts in a journeyman performance as the cop who goes vigilante, The Big Heat receives its mal noir signature from the superb acting of Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin.

		When Fritz Lang's masterpiece The Big Heat was released in 1953, America was undergoing self-examination of crime syndicates and the public servants that were in league with them.
		Dark, bleak, and nihilistic, The Big Heat is at times a shocking film with an intense duality between bowing to corruption and individual courage to change a cowardice society.
		The film's claim to fame comes in the form of pervasive violence towards women, and, in particular, a scene where scalding hot coffee is thrown onto the face of the story's heroine, badly scarring her.

	The Big Heat - DVD Review
		The Big Heat gets aaaaalmost thumbs down in the story department but looking at it as a conventional effort coming in the wake of A Better Tomorrow, it deserves the status of classic.
		Take a look at the theatrical trailer and it's revealed that the film probably was a bit more fuller before creative differences was taken out on the editing of shot footage.
		Fine is the pace and tension throughout though, even in potentially mundane things like dialogue scenes, police procedure and interrogation, which leads us into the often mentioned aspect of the film, the gunplay.

	The Big Heat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Even when the stories are about one man's solitary struggle against an overwhelmingly corrupt system (and they almost all are), the prevailing message is never that it's possible to reform the system, only that it's sometimes possible to take down one specific bad guy, and usually at a terrible cost.
		The Big Heat's story follows familiar lines: Dave Bannion is a homicide detective investigating the murder of a showgirl, a suspicious suicide, and the potential link between them.
		But unlike so many jaded, winking noir pastiches which followed it in the last four decades, The Big Heat seems to have come by its rage and its misanthropy honestly, and that gives it an impact which few films, present or past, share.

		The Big Heat first appeared in 1953, towards the end of the film noir cycle that had begun in the early '40s.
		It was greeted in the United States and Britain as a successful but modest product of the Hollywood system, "slickly written and directed" in the words of one critic.
		Yet by the time the film was reissued in Britain in 1988 it had achieved undisputed classic status.

	The Big Heat
		The Big Heat is less cynical and more life affirming, and as such is not a particularly apt example of the genre.
		Finally, Debby gives her life to expose Lagana and bring down Stone, and one is left with the impression that Bertha Duncan’s documents spelled the end not just of the mob boss, but of the indicted corrupt city officials as well.
		The most uncharacteristic aspect of The Big Heat, then, is that it ends happily, with our hero being recognised as such, and social order having been restored.
