Jessica Walter and Donna Mills co-star. The original music score was composed by Dee Barton. In the film, Eastwood plays the role of a radio disc jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan. The film was a critical and financial success, with Walter earning praise for her first major film role. Dave Garver is a KRML radio disc jockey who broadcasts nightly from a studio in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, often incorporating poetry into his program.
Clint Eastwood in the 2000s "The New York Times" wrote that the film was too similar to many other Eastwood films, although he said, "there is something comforting in seeing this old warhorse trot gamely out of the gate for yet another run on familiar turf." Despite the lackluster performance at the box office and mixed reception, Eastwood won the Future Film Festival Digital Award at the Venice Film Festival. Eastwood directed the crime drama "Mystic River" about murder, vigilantism, and sexual abuse. In 2005, Eastwood won critical and commercial success with "Million Dollar Baby" which screened from late January to early June 2005. The
