CGiii Comment
Clint Eastwood's directorial debut...and it shows.
Mr Eastwood did the silent cowboy to perfection - when he speaks, all credibility goes flying out of the window...especially with this kind of dialogue.
The sound is atrocious - the over-dubbing akin to the neo-Italian ineptness.
The gay character is chiffon and, yes, a stereotype.
The blood is cheap ketchup...
In a word: terrible.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Disc jockey Dave Garver (Clint Eastwood) attracts the amorous attentions of a demented fan named Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter). Evelyn lets Dave pick her up at a bar. Later at her apartment, Evelyn admits that she is the cooing caller who repeatedly asks Dave to play the Erroll Garner classic "Misty". From then on, this movie is a lesson in how one casual date can turn your whole life around. Evelyn stalks Dave everywhere, ruins his business lunch, assaults his maid, mutilates his house and all of his belongings, and finally threatens to butcher his girlfriend Tobie Williams (Donna Mills). You'll never be able to hear that song again without looking over your shoulder.
