Play Misty For Me DVD Report


Print: A few marks, but overall Good - Sound: Good - Label: Universal - Cover: Just a picture of Clint, looks budgety - Format: 1.85:1 - Length: 1h38m/1h38m - Before: Yes on TV - Again: Yes - Price: 50p - Rating: 6/10.


Play Misty For Me is a thriller about sex, stalking and obsession. Dave Garver (Clint Eastwood) is a California jazz DJ, struggling with committing to his on-off and on-again girlfriend Tobie (Donna Mills).

One night he meets the mini-skirted Evelyn (Jessica Walter) in a bar, and he goes home for a one-night stand with her, but Dave discovers that Evelyn has repeatedly called his show requesting that he Play Misty for me, and she is obsessive about him, and thats the start of the problems. This is one of the first modern stalker movies.

Play Misty For Me is surprisingly good, the scenes from the Monterey Jazz festival are real and refreshing too! At nearly 40 years old this movie surprisingly good, and better than some of Eastwoods later offerings to boot!

Here is the trailer...
