Daisy Miller (1974)

Cybill Shepherd is the titular character, a nouveau riche American travelling through Europe with her family who doesn’t understand and ignores the expected behaviors of high society. Her tale is told, and held in comparison, through the experiences of another upper class American visiting the continent, Barry Brown, who keeps himself restrained and unemotional despite his obvious attraction to Daisy. Shepherd acts like she’s in an entirely different film than everyone else. She’s flighty and flirty and her actions and reactions don’t track with those of the people around her. This is even more pronounced as the story takes an abrupt dark turn in its latter part.
