Film
1038: Play Misty for Me
Trivia: Clint Eastwood's
directorial debut.
Given
complete freedom by Universal Pictures, Clint Eastwood finished
shooting four days ahead of schedule and $50,000 under budget.
Set in
Carmel, CA, where Clint
Eastwood lived and became mayor in 1986.
The
first scene Clint
Eastwood shot was his former director Don Siegel's cameo as
Murph the bartender. As a joke, Eastwood made Siegel do 11 takes - then told
the cameraman to put the film in the camera.
Jean Shepherd claimed that
"Play Misty for Me" was based on a real-life incident in which he was
stalked by a female fan, which culminated in her trying to stab him.
