Clint Eastwood’s directing debut Play Misty For Me opens. Written by Jo Heims and Dean Riesner, Eastwood plays a late night radio announcer whose casual relationship with one of his listeners, a sultry-voiced fan of the Errol Garner jazz standard, Misty, crosses over into Fatal Attraction territory when his lover’s growing obsession with him transforms her from a mere stalker into a knife-wielding psycho. Jessica Walter and Donna Mills co-star. The film is a huge hit, sending Roberta Flack’s featured song, The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face, to the top of the charts.
