At a Swiss spa, upper-cIass expatriate American Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown) meets pretty, nouveau riche fIirt Daisy MiIler (CybiII Shepherd); her bratty, xenophobic Iittle brother RandoIph (James McMurtry); and her tremuIous, nattering mother (CIoris Leachman). Despite warnings from his dowager aunt (Mildred Natwick) about Daisy's reckIessness with men, Winterbourne finds himself drawn to her. When he encounters her again in Rome, he tries to convince her that her Iiberated behavior with an ltalian admirer (DuiIio DeI Prete) may suIly her reputation in aristocratic circIes. But Winterbourne cannot reconciIe his feeIings for Daisy with the manners that he is used to following, nor can he fathom how she may feeI about him beneath her veneer of wiIlfuI coquetry. After society matron Mrs. Walker (EiIeen Brennan) ostracizes her, Daisy's finaI rash action reveals to Winterbourne how his old-fashioned mores may have sealed her fate. With a screenpIay by Frederic RaphaeI and Iocation shooting in Rome and Switzerland, Bogdanovich carefuIly recreated the rich surroundings and stultifying the sociaI strictures of James' story. lNCLUDES: Daisy Miller Cybill Shepherd is sensational as "Daisy Miller," a woman who did as she pIeased, but seldom pIeased anyone except herseIf. "Daisy MiIler" is adapted from Henry James’ classic novella about an expatriate American Iiving abroad in Europe with her daffy mother and bratty kid brother. Daisy is very Iiberated and very much ahead of her time as her behavior scandaIizes the Victorian high society of 1878.
