Movie Reviews of Play Misty for Me
Movie Review: This woman is really obsessed with David.
Summary: 5 Stars
Rated "R".
In Carmel, California, Clint Eastwood plays "Dave Garver", a radio disc jockey on KRML radio. They play the soft, nice and easy kind of music. He has a radio listener that always calls in with a request, "Play Misty For Me". It is "Evelyn Draper" (Jessica Walter) that calls in. Finally Dave decides to follow the lead and ends up going to her house for just a casual, one-time thing. No strings attached.
Well, the next morning, Evelyn comes unannounced over to Dave's private home. Dave wanted to keep it all private and doesn't appreciate Evelyn just popping in suddenly with albeit a bag of groceries for him. Dave was talking with his co-worker Al (James McEachlin) at the time and didn't want him to know his private affairs.
Dave's good friend is a woman, "Tobie Williams" (Donna Mills) who he cares about, but she needs her bearing to sort things out. She is not a cheap woman by no means and would be perfect for Dave.
Meanwhile, Evelyn is following Dave around town. Calls him from a payphone to the bar he just entered, Surprising him unexpectedly in his home again. She becomes to trying and obsessed in her actions and affections for him. When Dave realizes she's coming on too strong, he ends the affair.
Evelyn doesn't stop there. She becomes too enthralled, angry and more obsessed to have sex with him, but she continues to spy and stalk him when he is with other friends. Her actions become more immature and then violent.
