Daisy Miller  

By (Paramount)

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 (Cloris 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.
