Eastwood starts off his directing career on a very high note. Play Misty for Me is definitely a classic, and not a whole lot of other movies can transfer between genres as well as this classic can. Play Misty for Me starts off as a simple movie, basically becoming a romance movie, quickly turning into a thriller and almost a horror movie.
Clint Eastwood plays Dave Garver, a local radio DJ whose job interferes with his personal life often. Jessica Walter plays Evelyn Draper, a fan of Dave's who becomes a one night stand for him and eventually she puts herself in the position of his lover and his crazy, obsessed stalker. Donna Mills plays Tobie, Dave's former lover who re-enters his life at a very convenient time. John larch plays Sgt. McCallum, the officer who gets involved in the case of Dave and his obsessed fan.
The movie is a mix of genres, and they mix well too. This is definitely a high mark in Eastwood's career, and a change from his usual action movie.
