Editorial Reviews

Clint Eastwood's surprisingly effective directorial debut is a tense psychological thriller in the same vein as 1987's obsession thriller Fatal Attraction. Inspired by Don Siegel, who had directed him four times in the previous three years, Eastwood crafts gritty, precise, and unsettling action sequences well-suited to the material's Hitchcockian tone. Jessica Walters is appropriately eerie as the radio-show caller who voices the title request, and Eastwood gives his own performance a cool efficiency. At the time of the film's release, it was relatively rare for big-name stars to try their hand at directing; Misty would be the first of numerous off-and-on directorial efforts for the idol, who would achieve his greatest success as an actor-director with 1992's Oscar-winning Unforgiven.
