Actors: Clint Eastwood, Jessica Walter,
Donna Mills
Rating: 8 out of 10, Eastwood’s first
directing gig and you can see the promise that’s been redeemed so many times in
subsequent films. He plays a laid back radio DJ with vintage late 1960s aplomb
who picks up what he thinks will be a casual one night stand. Of course, its anything
but that with Jessica Walter, (yes the Bluth matriarch herself) going all fatal
attraction on him without any rabbits around to boil. Eastwood does a superb
job of building tension and finally delivers the punch we’ve all been waiting
for. Eastwood also makes great use of his Carmel by the Sea home as the setting.
I visited there a few years ago and think I did it in large part because of
seeing this movie all those years ago.
MVP: Walter as the maniacal Evelyn
