Weatherford Wrote:Play Misty for Me was Clint Eastwood's directorial debut - I saw it for the first time the other night, and wow - what an excellent movie! Could have been Hitchcock. It doesn't show its age (1971) - except perhaps in the screaming and hairstyles... it is a taut thriller - one of the first, if not the first, movie about stalking.
I recommend it - regardless of your admiration or lack thereof of Eastwood.
Yes, indeed. "PLay Misty For Me" is one of my favorite Eastwood's films. I have DVD. I think this is basics of "Fatal Attraction". Both were great films, but I prefer "PLay Misty For Me". Jessica Walter freaked me out!
Also, Clint Eastwood did appearances in another good thriller movie,
The Beguiled. Directed by Don Siegel. Last sequences were unforgettable.
Quote:It now sits on the shelf next to Branagh's Dead Again - which is one of my all-time favorite thrillers.
Oh, I like this one too. I saw it in a theater.
