Description:
An adaptation of the Henry James novella of the same name, DAISY MILLER stars Cybill Shepherd as the title character, a beautiful American girl whose headstrong ways create quite a stir in European society during the 1800s. Drawn to European aristocrat Frederick Winterbourne (Brown) and the suave Italian Mr. Giovanelli (Del Prete), Daisy’s American ways slowly clash with continental etiquette and concern her mother, Ms. Ezra B. Miller (Leachman), who tries to persuade her to act more like a proper lady. Ultimately snubbed by Roman high society, Daisy’s un-ladylike conduct eventually ends in tragedy.

Rating:  - No thanks...
What a stupid movie! Cybil Shepard talks WAY too fast to enjoy any of her dialog. The point of the movie is to show how uppety high society could be back then but I couldn't help but agree with them! The things she did were just wierd and tooo flirty. It is a g rating so it is viewable by the whole family but I wouldn't recommend this movie to any one!
Rating:  - Another 4 Plus 1 for Courage
This film is remarkable. It is not James, however close to the original plot it may dance. I don't believe with others that this film is a masterpiece. Bogdanovich overlays Henry James with Oscar Wilde. It doesn't work perfectly, but it gives you a variation on a theme, especially intriguing with James. (A well-known author once averred to me that the success of television's The Golden Bowl came from the director putting the sex James had so meticulously avoided back in the story.) Daisy doesn't ...

Rating: - Daisy Miller is a masterpiece.
This is one of the greatest film made by Peter Bogdanovich. Daisy Miller is a profond, deep and sad movie. Made in the style of George Cukor. Better than the novel written by Henry James. There are so wonderfull scenes in that movie, like when Daisy Miller sings "When You and I Where Young Maggie". The cast is perfect, Cybill Shepherd, Eileen Breenan, Mildred Natwick, George Morfogen and the great Barry Brown. Daisy Miller is perfect, an incredible masterpiece. Peter Bogdanovich is one of a greatest ... Read More
Rating:  - A Good Film but Not a Masterpiece
It seems people either love this film or hate it. I stand, somewhat in the middle. The movie is an adaptation of Henry James' 1878 novella of the same name. James had a great idea for his novella. The plot sets Daisy Miller, an unconventional young American against the norms of Victorian era society. Is she an innocent free spirit or a woman on the road to social ruin and scandal--or both?
The movie was filmed in the beautiful locations James mentions in the story. The director, ... Read More
Rating:  - More career suicide note than movie
Every so often a film commits suicide before your very eyes. You've heard the rumors of course, but when you see it start you don't quite believe it - after all, the film looks beautiful, the opening sequence is quietly wonderful and, if the leading man is a little stiff and mannered, a lot of that can be put down to the rigors and regulations of polite century in 19th century Europe. And then Cybill Shepard strides across the screen with all the poise of a bartender about to break up a fight in a Deadwood ... Read More
