Yes, I just watched Play Misty For Me (Eastwood's directorial debut) and he does seem to have an affinity for music. Nothing wrong with that of course, I thought one of the best scenes in the movie was the one of the Monterey Jazz Festival, which other viewers thought didn't even belong. The other great shots were of the California coast, they were just gorgeous! But otherwise the movie was so bad it was good, Eastwood playing a sexy, jazz-playing radio DJ just didn't work for me. It was all that squinting and snarling, it was as if he was preparing for his role as Dirty Harry. (And that completely flat arse of his should have stayed in his pants, it was a very disappointing and disheartening sight!)
Anyhoo, Play Misty For Me was just awful, it was obvious this was Eastwood's first go at directing, and there was apparently no one there to show him the ropes or to rein him in. Thankfully as time went by he had greatly improved as a director.
