 DVD Review - Play Misty For Me   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
"Play Misty for Me" is a solid thriller that is only slightly dated by costumes, haircuts, and music, and is no doubt responsible for more than a few recent films that deal with stalkers and obsessive lovers.
Also on board are two short featurettes entitled "’The Beguiled,’ Misty, Don and Clint," and "Clint Eastwood on DVD." The first further examines the friendship between Eastwood and the late Don Siegel, tracing their history in movies together, while the second is essentially Clint’s opinion of revisiting films in a new medium.
"Play Misty for Me" is a more than competent thriller and a worthy debut of Clint Eastwood, director.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Play Misty for Me
Misty tells the story of Dave Garver (Eastwood), a jazz disc jockey for KRML radio in Carmel, Calif. Dave, as Eastwood describes him, is "a big fish in a little pond," with a resistance to a full commitment to his artist girlfriend Tobie (Donna Mills) because it threatens his rep as a rake.
Evelyn quickly proves to be more attached to Dave than expected — she's the girl who calls the station frequently requesting the tune "Misty," and she begins to intrude in other areas of his life, threatening his new job prospects, his reconciliation with his girlfriend, and finally the lives of those around him.
Misty is a cool, efficient, modest little thriller that looms larger with the passing years.

Play Misty For Me, the original “Fatal Attraction” recently hit the DVD shelves, and being a movie that I always enjoyed, I had to have it.
Clint Eastwood directs and stars as Dave Garner, an ultra-hip Jazz DJ for a Carmel radio station, who picks up a groupie by the name of Evelyn (played excellently by Jessica Walter), and gets to experience his own little slice of hell at her hands.
Another feature is a comparison between “The Beguiled” and “Misty”; I personally didn’t enjoy that feature, and thought it could’ve been left off the disc.

 MOVIE REVIEW_Play Misty For Me
In 1971, at 41, Clint Eastwood confidently flaunts his directing debut with Play Misty for Me - at an age when most actors these days are contemplating which reality show to make asses of themselves on.
Already known as a bankable actor for his Sergio Leone Dollar trilogy and a flurry of westerns and war movies, this was a breakout move for Eastwood, who had to waive his director's fee before the doubting studio would give him the opportunity to direct.
Every testes-bearer in the world over 21 can relate to this tale of the needy, clutching, jealous stalker and Jessica Walter is perfectly cast as Evelyn - not so strikingly beautiful that men would sympathize with her insanity, yet exuding that alluring MILF brand of psycho charm that entraps the male with its flattering desperation.
