Review of Play Misty for Me (1971) by R96Sk — 26 Jan 2022
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.
