Primary
The film's central focus on psychological obsession and individual survival against a stalker is apolitical, concentrating on personal terror rather than broader societal or ideological critiques.

Secondary
The film 'Play Misty for Me' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a heterosexual relationship and a psychological thriller plot, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The film "Play Misty for Me" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes.
