And yes, Jessica still scares me when she comes out screaming like a maniac with a knife! <br />Cheers, Rick http://ricksrealreel.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14243899548141583461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473857081653339896.post-21372055163813084992021-10-27T23:03:04.685-04:002021-10-27T23:03:04.685-04:00I remember seeing this at the theater.

And who could forget Donna Mills’ beautiful blue eyes during her moment of panic at the hands of crazed Jessica Walter! This has always been my favorite Eastwood film. ❤️Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158769002468009729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473857081653339896.post-49860809250153446002019-06-02T08:15:23.522-04:002019-06-02T08:15:23.522-04:00Only in the original murder, of her unfaithful hus...Only in the original murder, of her unfaithful husband, Lee Majors!, with her charm bracelets jangling like the ghost of Christmas past!

I like Clint's straightforward way of handling material, though his subject matter doesn't always interest me. But this was a memorable childhood movie! Cheers, and thanks for reading.

My Dad was a major Clint fan and I was always along for the ride. I was WAY too young to watch this in 1971 but did anyway. Jessica was great and super scary, I remember something about corned beef sandwiches, and hot cocoa as part of her stalky behavior, lol. As an adult I like a lot of Eastwood films, not all, but the ones I do I really like. Interesting to find out this was his first directorial effort. Super fun read, thanks.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
