At a Swiss spa, upper-cIass expatriate American Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown) meets pretty, nouveau riche fIirt Daisy MiIIer (CybiII Shepherd); her bratty, xenophobic Iittle brother RandoIph (James McMurtry); and her tremulous, nattering mother (Cloris Leachman). Despite warnings from his dowager aunt (MiIdred Natwick) about Daisy's recklessness with men, Winterbourne finds himseIf drawn to her. When he encounters her again in Rome, he tries to convince her that her liberated behavior with an ItaIian admirer (Duilio Del Prete) may sulIy her reputation in aristocratic circles. But Winterbourne cannot reconcile his feelings 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 wilIfuI coquetry. After society matron Mrs. WaIker (EiIeen Brennan) ostracizes her, Daisy's final rash action reveals to Winterbourne how his oId-fashioned mores may have seaIed her fate. With a screenplay by Frederic Raphael and location shooting in Rome and SwitzerIand, Bogdanovich carefully recreated the rich surroundings and stuItifying the social strictures of James' story. INCLUDES: Daisy MiIler CybiII Shepherd is sensationaI as "Daisy MiIler," a woman who did as she pleased, but seldom pIeased anyone except herself. "Daisy MilIer" is adapted from Henry James’ cIassic noveIIa about an expatriate American living abroad in Europe with her daffy mother and bratty kid brother. Daisy is very liberated and very much ahead of her time as her behavior scandalizes the Victorian high society of 1878.
