Not convinced it’s necessarily a great film per se, but ‘Play Misty for Me’ really does a very good at unsettling the viewer!

Jessica Walter is the sole reason for that. As good as Clint Eastwood is, as he makes his directorial debut, Walter gives a superb performance as the unnerving Evelyn Draper – one that’ll live in the memory, for sure. Elsewhere on the cast, it’s neat to see Don Siegel – one of Eastwood’s long time collaborators – make a cameo.

I have some minor remarks about this, like the editing is a tad iffy in parts, but all in all nothing important. I’d recommend this, to put it simply.

Well if you are going to play away Dave…

Dave Garver (Clint Eastwood) is a late night disc jockey in Carmel, California. Whilst his girlfriend is out of town he meets and beds a fan named Evelyn (Jessica Walter) who turns out to be the mystery caller to his show who sexily requests the Errol Garner classic tune “Play Misty For Me”. Thinking that his night of passion with Evelyn is purely a one off, he starts to become concerned as Evelyn refuses to leave him alone, and things are about to get very out of hand and become very disturbing for all involved.

This was Clint Eastwood’s first stab (hrr hrr) at directing and it proved to be a very commendable effort as he directs himself in the picture, polishes the production across the board, and then wrapped the film on time and under budget, quite an achievement and it’s no surprise that he went on to be a big hitter from behind the camera right up to this present day.

Play Misty For Me is a truly tight and engrossing picture, and certainly more of a character study than its slasher shell would suggest. Eastwood (playing against type) plays Garver perfectly weasel like, and it’s because of his selfish sexual proclivities, and all round disdain for his actions, that the maelstrom that comes his way is kind of like the reckoning. The picture firmly belongs to Jessica Walter, though, her turn as the irrational psychotic in waiting, Evelyn, is truly magic, lacing sympathetic sadness with outright moments of terror, believable to the point of forcing the audience into an uneasy understanding. It’s a mystery (and a crying shame) that Walter didn’t go on to be a big star because the marker for major talent was right here.

Edgy and darkly fascinating, Play Misty For Me stands up today as a right on the money thriller, and not even the sight of Clint in his over large white underpants can dim the films appeal. 8.5/10

A Classic and One of the Best Thrillers of the 70’s
In the city of Carmel, the popular disc-jockey David Garver (Clint Eastwood) has one night stand with Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter), a strange he met in a bar after his show. The woman, indeed a deranged obsessed fan, stalks David and threatens his life, his girl-friend Tobie Williams (Donna Mills), his friends and even his job.

The debut of Clint Eastwood as director could not be better. This low budget and low paced movie has a simple, but frightening story, which was ripped off at least in the famous “Fatal Attraction” and the teen version “Swimfan”. The magnificent landscape and locations in the beautiful city of Carmel, where Clint Eastwood was elected Major many years later, are another attraction. The performance of Jessica Walters is awesome, changing naturally her behavior from a sweet to an aggressive person, really incorporating her character. Clint Eastwood is very cool, as usual, and Donna Mills very gorgeous. I like the unusual break of tension adopted when Evelyn is arrested and Dave and Tobie’s routine returns to normal, dating, going to festival, making love, increasing the suspense after the twist point. I do not recall how many times I have seen “Play Misty for Me”, a classic and one of the best thrillers of the 70’s. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): “Perversa Paixão” (“Wicked Passion”)

DJ Eastwood in da house!
The forerunner to both Fatal Attraction and Misery, Clint Eastwood thriller Play Misty For Me marks a brief change in direction for the star, who puts away his six-shooter to play a victim for a change. Eastwood is Dave, a smooth-talking radio DJ who makes the mistake of having a fling with obsessed fan Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter). But when Dave wants to call it quits with the feisty fruit-loop, preferring to rekindle his relationship with much saner old flame Tobie (Donna Mills), crazy Evelyn dials the lunacy up to eleven.

Eastwood’s directorial debut, Play Misty For Me shows the actor to be so much more than a squint, some stubble and a grimace: his first feature film at the helm is a very accomplished thriller that delivers solid storytelling, a superb villainess (Walter is truly frightening in a performance that rivals those of Glenn Close and Kathy Bates in the aforementioned classics), some terrific suspense, and even a spot of rather nasty violence, with a frenzied knife attack on Dave’s house cleaner every bit as cringe-worthy as the hobbling scene in Misery.

Admittedly, the film does lose some momentum in the second act, where Clint gets a little self-indulgent, with a romantic montage scene that plays out to Roberta Flack’s ‘The First Time I Ever I Saw Your Face’ in its entirety (great song, mind you), followed by some musical footage from the Monterey Jazz Festival. Things do pick up, however, for a rousing finalé that sees Evelyn in full on whack-job mode, threatening Tobie and getting super stabby with Dave before he finally clobbers the bitch in the chops, sending her plummeting through a window, over a cliff, and into the sea.
