Clint Eastwood (making his very assured directorial debut) is a poetry-spouting stud-muffin DJ stalked by a maniacally amorous fan after a misguided one-night stand in this enjoyably schlocky, undeniably effective film about good intentions gone murderously wacky. Although many of the very '70s trappings presented here may ultimately be too dated to be taken seriously (including a very self-indulgent jazz number and a hilariously gooey seduction number between Eastwood and Donna Mills), the core premise of infatuation taken out of bounds remains uncomfortably plausible--and was influential enough to be appropriated by one of the biggest hits of the '80s. (Here's a hint--it starred Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, and a very unfortunate bunny rabbit). A well-staged and occasionally very frightening thriller worth watching for Jessica Walter's peerlessly unhinged performance alone. Frequent Eastwood collaborator Don Siegel (director of Dirty Harry, Coogan's Bluff, and The Beguiled, to name but a few) has a nice cameo as Murphy, the mustachioed, chess-playing bartender. --Andrew Wright

Here's a rather well done Clint Eastwood movie. My wife and I watched it last night. We'd been watching the Dirty Harry and Western Series DVDs and, boy, does this represent a change!

In any case, he gets requests to "Play Misty for Me" and he complies. Ultimately the sultry and good looking woman tracks him down, and they begin an affair at just about the same ... Read More

We used to call them, "Hitline Honeys" at WNDR, WTLB, WTAC, WWCK, WIOT, WCWA, KSO, WFBL, WBVE and every other radio station I knew up close. Clint Eastwood's debut as a Director improves with age in this original version (for any practical purpose) of "Fatal Attraction" with Michael Douglas. Same story. Different framing. Similar kind of end. I can't believe we all looked like that back in '71. This is a VERY cool film from an artistic and historical perspective. Along with the rest of the Galaxy, I ... Read More

Although I didn't receive the dvd, i loved the movie when i saw it in the theater. clint and jessica were fantastic. this movie was out before fatal attraction, and even more enjoyable. i recently saw jessica, i swear she looks the same as she did back when this movie came out.

Clint Eastwood has of course moved on to make far more ressonent films than Play Misty For Me from 1970.
But several qualities make this film, about a man trying to settle down being stalked by a one night stand lunatic, Evalyn Draper-classic. A rough and tough cowboy or cop, Eastwood here directs himself as a Karmel jazz DJ, Dave Garver, back when such figures where part of a genuine counter-culture. This move is bold.
The stalking part is great, as is the backdrop of jazz ... Read More
