Daisy Miller

N.p. N.p., Circa 1974. Two vintage borderless photographs from the 1974 film, one glossy and one matte-finish. One showing director Peter Bogdanovich in conversation with actresses Cloris Leachman and Eileen Brennan on the set, the other showing Bogdanovich with actress Cybill Shepherd and an unknown woman, likely during a promotional event for the film.

Based on the 1878 novella by Henry James. An intense study in the rules of class boundaries, crossed with American-British dichotomies. Bogdanovich's faithful adaptation of James' story concerns the courtship of a beautiful but flirtatious American girl Daisy Miller (Shepherd) by a sophisticated, upper-class British compatriot named Winterbourne (Brown). Miller's refusal to observe class boundaries in her flirtations leads Winterbourne to respond negatively to her—with dire consequences.

One 10.5 x 8.25 inches, one 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
