Daisy Miller

there really isn't all that much to say about this predominantly unsuccessful early 1970's adaptation of the henry james short story. it wasn't wholly painful, but somewhat tedious. bogdanovich seemed to cast virtually every member of his las picture show ensemble, which just lent it the feeling that the townspeople of that film were all starring in a community theatre costume drama. i think i'd be better off reading the book. a bad review of this one certainly isn't news.
