Body Fever or Super Cool is a 1969 American low-budget crime drama film, directed by Ray Dennis Steckler.[1] It stars Carolyn Brandt as a cat burglar and Bernard Fein as a down and out detective searching for her. Rotten Tomatoes mentions that in the film a "lackadaisical gumshoe is caught between a glamorous thief, a gang of ruthless hoodlums and a handful of vicious drug peddlers in this quirky crime drama".[2]
Steckler created a bit part for then destitute fellow director Coleman Francis. Francis died just a few years later in 1973.[3]
