Full Plot Details

It's the late nineteenth century. Annie Miller, more regularly referred to as Daisy, of Schenectady, New York, is on a grand tour of Europe with her mother, Mrs. Ezra Miller, her precocious adolescent brother, Randolph Miller, and their manservant, Eugenio. It is at their stop in Vevey, Switzerland that Daisy meets Frederick Winterbourne, an American expat studying in Geneva. Frederick has mixed emotions about Daisy. On the one hand, he is captivated by her beauty. On the other, he believes her to be uneducated and improper in her modern American attitude and behavior, she basically doing whatever she wants regardless of the possible perception of impropriety by those in Frederick's social circle. That latter view is shared by Frederick's aunt, Mrs. Costello, with who he is traveling. Conversely, Daisy finds Frederick to be stiff. Regardless, Daisy does allow Frederick to spend time with her as they move from Vevey to Rome, Italy in their individual parallel travels. Through this time, Frederick becomes more torn about Daisy, especially as she is not averse to flirting with Mr. Giovanelli, who she meets in Rome, she preferring to walk on the arms of both Giovanelli and Frederick at the same time in public. That torn feeling is exacerbated by the talk of others, especially judgmental Mrs. Walker who is not averse to using her social standing to exert her will on others. That mixed feeling is also in that Frederick is unaware if Daisy's behavior is truly and knowingly improper and hurtful to those around her, or if she is only an innocent in her joie de vivre. He may ultimately get his answer, but by that time it may be too late for him to express his true feelings for her in return.

Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 8/10 by Richard BrodyOne of the few great films based on a great book; its acerbic humor matches the tale’s stifled horror of stifling morals.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyDaisy Miller transfers to the screen simply and elegantly. Very little is lost that isn't regained through the always unpredictable conjunction of performers with material.
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CroceA slender recital, yet more affecting than the entire Merchant-Ivory canon
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzFails to get at James' subtler and deeper inner truths about his cast of characters.
El Pais (Spain) - 6/10 by Jesús Fernández Santos... a love story to which Cybill Sherpard and Barry Brown lend an exact and definitive charm. [Full review in Spanish]
The A.V. Club - 4/10 by Noel MurrayThe film looks amazing, but the cranked-up acting (complete with the most rapid-fire dialogue Bogdanovich had yet attempted) is tough to bear, especially as it becomes apparent that James' subtle character study is beyond the story-driven Bogdanovich's capabilities.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Dave KehrMore mannered than stylish, more would-be tragic than comic, the film is all surface and comes up fatally short on warmth, humor, and insight.
User Review - 6/10 by Abel DCybill is pretty badly miscast but the film is otherwise very good.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MCybill Shepard is miscast in Bogdanovich's otherwise handsome adaptation of Henry James' famous novel.
User Review - 6/10 by Stuart KPeter Bogdanovich had alot of success in the early 1970's, he'd just come off The Last Picture Show (1971) and Paper Moon (1973), now he was going to do a big period drama, Daisy Miller was based on Henry James' 1878 novella. Despite the good intentions, it flopped, critics then called it a dud, but time has been kinder to this film, and it does look lovely, but the title character was still miscast. Set in Switzerland, it follows young American Annie P. 'Daisy' Miller (Cybill Shepherd) who is very unconventional, she has an eccentric mother Erza (Cloris Leachman) and a troublemaker younger brother Randolph (James McMurtry). She meets fellow American Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown), who is surprised by her attitude towards life. But, other Americans in the area do not think highly of her, and even socialite Mrs. Walker (Eileen Brennan) is appalled by her behaviour, but is Daisy really so naive?? Shepherd was cast on an act of pure nepotism by Bogdanovich, as they were dating one another at the time. Not a good idea, but it's well shot and is a gentle comedy of manners. An outsider in a classy world. The story could do with a remake, and it marked Bogdanovich's downfall.
