''Play Misty for Me'' is a 1971 American psychological thriller film, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, in his directorial debut. Jessica Walter and Donna Mills co-star. The original music score was composed by Dee Barton. In the film, Eastwood plays the role of a radio jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan. ==Plot== Dave Garver (Clint Eastwood) is a KRML radio jockey who broadcasts nightly from a studio in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, often incorporating poetry into his program. He lives a rather freewheeling bachelor lifestyle. At his favorite bar, seemingly by coincidence, he encounters a woman named Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter). Dave drives Evelyn home, where she reveals that their meeting was not coincidental; she deliberately sought him out after hearing the bar mentioned on his radio show. He guesses correctly that she is a recurring caller who always requests the jazz standard "Misty." The two have sex. A casual romance begins between Dave and Evelyn. But before long, Evelyn begins to display symptoms of severe borderline personality disorder.〔(Fatal Attraction syndrome )〕 She begins by showing up at Dave's house uninvited. She also begins stalking him by following Dave from his home to workplace at all hours of the day and night. Evelyn becomes more possessive by phoning Dave all the time as well as demanding that he keep her company and not leave her alone for a single minute. The final straw comes when the insanely jealous Evelyn disrupts a business meeting, mistaking Dave's lunch companion - a representative who has come to offer him a career opportunity - for his date. Despite his efforts to gradually and gently sever ties with Evelyn, she feels abandoned, lonely and angry. Her unbalanced feelings eventually lead her to attempt suicide in his home when she slashes her own wrists. After Dave rejects her again after she recovers, Evelyn breaks into his home, where his housekeeper, Birdie (Clarice Taylor), finds her maniacally vandalizing his possessions. Evelyn stabs her with a knife and is subsequently committed to a psychiatric hospital. During Evelyn's incarceration, Dave rekindles a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Tobie Williams (Donna Mills). A few months later, Evelyn again calls the studio to request "Misty." She tells Dave that she has been released from the mental hospital due to good behavior and is moving to Hawaii for a new job and to give herself a fresh start in life. She then quotes an Edgar Allan Poe poem, "Annabel Lee". That night, while Dave is asleep, she sneaks into his house and tries to kill him with a butcher knife. He fights her, she flees, and Dave contacts the police. Dave tells Tobie about Evelyn and cautions her to stay away from him until the woman is caught. For her safety, she goes home. There, she meets with a girl who answered her ad for a roommate: Evelyn, using the alias Annabel. Tobie eventually realizes that Annabel is Evelyn when she sees the fresh scars on Evelyn's wrists, but before Tobie can escape, Evelyn takes her hostage. Evelyn also murders McCallum (John Larch), a police detective who had come to check on Tobie. At the radio station, Dave makes the connection between Tobie's roommate and the quote from "Annabel Lee". When he calls Tobie to warn her, Evelyn answers and says she and Tobie are waiting for him. Dave switches from a live show to taped music and rushes to the house, where he finds Tobie bound and gagged. Evelyn attacks again with the butcher knife slashing Dave multiple times. Unable to take it from her, he punches Evelyn, knocking her out a window and down a cliff into the ocean. Dave and Tobie look down at Evelyn's dead body as Dave's voice on the taped radio show dedicates "Misty" to Evelyn one final time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Play Misty for Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
