Clint Eastwood - "Play Misty For Me" - 1971
Say what you will about Clint, as a libertarian he is pro-gay marriage so at least he is consistent in his beliefs about small government (although please don't leave political comments on this page, I got off facebook to avoid them). This was Clint's first directorial effort and it was ok. Basically "fatal attraction" long before "fatal attraction." I thought the first 2/3 of the film moved along pretty well but once Clint decided to film himself in a love scene for the ENTIRE length of the song "First time I ever saw you face" the movie began to drag on. I think Clint would have been 41 here but looks older (to me) in the face. I think Clint probably looked like a mature man at 18. Since he directed the movie we know it was his choice to film himself in his tighty whities so good on you, Clint.
Nothing better than classic white Jockeys!
