Review of Play Misty for Me (1971) by Giffy G — 25 Feb 2009

This movie did not age well at all. Normally, when I am historically removed from the historical moment the movie was released in, I can sort of bridge the gap. With this movie, I could not. It was heavily, heavily padded--I threatened the DVD that I would stop it immediately if I had to sit through one more walking montage with ADR dialogue.

Moreover, the special effects were laughably old. I would have given this movie a much lower rating, if it weren't for the stellar performance of Jessica Walter. She and she alone almost saved this movie.
