Play Misty For Me

Trivia: In 1957 folk-singer Ewan MacColl wrote "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." In 1969 Roberta Flack recorded this. In 1971 Clint Eastwood was driving through Los Angeles when he happened to hear the record on his car radio. Eastwood so liked it that he included it in Play Misty For Me. Cinema audiences picked up on it, and it became the best selling US record of 1972, turning Roberta Flack into an international star. However, Ewan MacColl said he always hated Flack's version of his song.

Mistakes

Other mistake: When Clint Eastwood arrives at Jessica Walter's house and she has made him dinner, he gets very angry at her and storms out the door stating it's over and he never wants to see her again. He speeds off in his car. It only takes him 1 second to leave through the door, walk to the car, open the car door, start the car, and speed out of the scene making a very loud tire noise. Jessica Walters follows him to the door and we hear the car racing from the scene instantly.
