‘Play Misty for Me’ Explores the Thin Line Between Love and Obsession [The Lady Killers Podcast]

“I did it because I LOVE YOU!”

We’ve all made poor decisions when it comes to love. From late-night confessions and ill-advised texts to bold declarations at public events. We’re so smitten that we lose track of objective reality and find ourselves veering into irrational behavior. But regardless of how shameless, obsessive, or outright embarrassing our actions are they can’t compare with Evelyn (Jessica Walter). This music fan becomes obsessed with Dave (Clint Eastwood), a local radio DJ, and loses herself in a quest for his love.

Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut Play Misty for Me follows an ill-advised one night stand that spirals dangerously out of control. If Evelyn can’t be the love of Dave’s life, she’ll make damn sure he never loves anyone again. 

In the latest episode of Bloody FM’s The Lady Killers Podcast, co-hosts Jenn Adams, Sammie Kuykendall, Rocco Thompson, and special guest Michael Roffman talk poetry, jazz, and Carmel California in this quintessential ’70s film. Which of Evelyn’s tactics give us the chills? Why does Dave overlook obvious warning signs? How does Tobie (Donna Mills) find all those roommates and what’s going on with her fluffy hair? They’ll chat about these questions and more while exploring the dangers of obsessive love.
