Ep. 172: Play Misty For Me

Any actor who gets big enough seems to try their hand at directing. Some do it really well, some not so much, but arguably the best to ever do it is the subject of our Direct-ember this year: Clint Eastwood. After spending nearly 2 decades in front of the camera he tried his hand at actually directing and that decision eventually led to him being arguably the greatest Actor/Director of all time. We'll be look at 4 generations of Eastwood films starring with his early era the 1970's. In 1971 Eastwood made his debut as the character Dirty Harry, and as a director with the thriller Play Misty For Me. This isn't the kind of film you would typically associate with Eastwood, but does a great job of showcasing his directorial skills. How exactly? That's what we're here to discuss.
