Daisy Miller (1974).In this comedy of manners, Frederick Winterbourne tries to figure out the bright and bubbly Daisy Miller, only to be helped and hindered by false judgments from their fellow friends.Notoriously, Peter Bogdanovich made this movie as a vehicle for his then-girlfriend, Cybill Shepherd, which is in no means the worst part of this movie at all. As somebody who likes the novella quite a lot, I really enjoyed Shepherd’s take on Daisy, but the film struggles in a lot of other areas, to the point it never quite lifts off the ground. Barry Brown’s performance is pretty flat, and the pacing felt off to me overall. It’s average at best, but Shepherd does briefly shine. 6/10. -- source link
