Starring: Clint Eastwood, Jessica Walter, Donna Mills, John Larch
Director: Clint Eastwood
The star chose to cut his teeth on this small-scale movie, and the result -- although inevitably dated by its terrible clothes and period ambience -- stands up well but only as good late night television viewing.
Much of the credit must go to Jessica Walter for her outstanding performance which somehow manages to be chilling while at the same time sympathetic.
For that 80% of the film which constitutes the story, the structure and dialog create a mood of nervous terror which the other 20% nearly blows away.
Top CriticClint Eastwood wisely chose a strong, simple thriller for his first film as a director, and the project is remarkable in its self-effacing dedication to getting the craft right.
Top CriticEastwood's imperfect debut movie is a thiller full of personality and zest.
Clint's direction is sometimes shaky but usually assured, and he gets a bold performance from Jessica Walter.

A highly enjoyable thriller.

There is no purpose to a suspense thriller, I suppose, except to involve us, scare us, to give us moments of vicarious terror. Play Misty for Me does that with an almost cruel efficiency.
Top CriticStill quite effective stalker-thriller, has dated somewhat

Em seu filme de estréia como diretor, Eastwood troca a tensão pelo susto fácil a partir da segunda metade da trama, errando ainda no longo e embaraçoso ‘interlúdio musical’.
Early, effective version of 'Fatal Attraction' theme
For his directorial debut, Clint Eastwood opted to make this relatively straightforward but hopelessly dated Fatal Attraction clone (er, precursor).
