Rottentomatoes Play Misty for Me
Plot.
Play Misty for Me marked Clint Eastwood's debut as a director, and it gave
him the then-unusual opportunity to play a regular contemporary guy in a
thriller about sex, obsession, and stalking. Eastwood's Dave Garver is a
self-centered California jazz disc jockey struggling with the idea of
committing to his on-again, off-again girlfriend Tobie (Donna Mills).
One night he meets the mini-skirted Evelyn (Jessica Walters) in a bar, and
he goes home with her for what he assumes is a one-night stand. Dave
discovers, however, that Evelyn has repeatedly called his show requesting
that he play 'Misty' for me, and she is not about to go gently into the
night now that she has bedded him. Even though it touches on the early-
70s flashpoints of sexual liberation, studio execs expressed doubts about
why anyone would want to see a movie featuring Eastwood as a deejay.
Eastwood reportedly answered that he was not sure either, but he thought
it was a good suspense story, and he offered his services as director for
free. Play Misty for Me wound up making five times more than it cost and
ursor to such erotic thrillers as Fatal Attraction (1987) and Basic
Instinct (1992). Eastwood mentor Don Siegel appears early on as a
bartender.
