Clint Eastwood Month: Play Misty For Me | Absolute Power

Dear Moviemainers here are films for the month of September    This month is Clint Eastwood Month.    He is best known for spaghetti westerns and the Dirty Harry films..   I like the fact that he directs and stars in almost all his own films.   Surprise I did not choose a western although he has made some great ones.    First film up is Play Misty For Me  1971  This is Clint's first time as a director and filmed in  Carmel.    It also has Jessica Walter and Donna Mills in the film.  This is a story of a disc jockey who gets way to involved with a crazy fan.    Next film is Absolute Power  1997  Now I chose this film because of the screen writer William Goldman   who not only do I love the way he writes but I just loved two books by him called Adventures in The Screen Trade and More Adventures in the screen trade.   if you love films you will want to read these two books by him.   This story is about a jewel thief who sees something he shouldn't while robbing a house.    It stars Judy Davis, Ed Harris and Laura Linney.    One last story about Clint is the one The Burt Reynolds likes to tell.   Clint and Burt got fired on the same day while on a film set.   The  producer explained that Clint was being fired because he talked slow had a chipped tooth and a Adam's Apple.   Burt was being fired because he could not act.    As they walked out of the studio Burt said to Clint "  Wow I feel bad for you Clint, I can learn to act but you will never get rid of the Adam's Apple.    I hope you enjoy these films.    I look forward to seeing you all at Larry's house on October 7 for Movie night. more to come about the evening to follow .    Thanks for watching   Movielynne
