‘Daisy Miller’ Gets May 21 Blu-ray Disc Date From Kino Lorber
May 11, 2024
Kino Lorber May 21 will release on Blu-ray Disc the 1974 romantic dramady Daisy Miller, from famed director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon).
Based on The Turn of the Screw, the classic novella by Henry James, Daisy Miller stars Cybill Shepherd as a free-spirited young American living abroad in Europe with her daffy mother and bratty kid brother. A woman who does as she pleases, but seldom pleases anybody but herself, Daisy is very liberated and very much ahead of her time as her behavior scandalizes the Victorian high society of 1878. The film costars Bogdanovich favorites Barry Brown (The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid), Mildred Natwick (Barefoot in the Park), Eileen Brennan (The Sting) and Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein).
Daisy Miller comes to Blu-ray from a new HD master created from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative.
The release also includes two new special features: a 10-minute interview with Shepherd and an audio commentary by film historian critic Peter Tonguette. Also included are several previously available extras, including an audio commentary and introduction by Bogdanovich, and the original theatrical trailer.
