Summary: DVD of Daisy Please
Comment: Inside Daisy Clover was Natalie Wood's best effort, but the truly amazing performance in this movie is Christopher Plummer's portrait of the powerful, imperious movie mogul Raymond Swann. Plummer's poolside soliloquy which ends in the ironic "Love, Who needs it?" is masterful.
PLEASE give us this movie in DVD. I still keep the VHS version even though I no longer have a VCR!

Summary: "You're not Myrna Loy!"
Comment: I LOVE this movie. What I want to know is, do people still buy VHS tapes?? Why in the world this film is not on DVD is beyond me. My favorite part is the promotional short Daisy did for Swan studios where she dances and sings in outer space; beautiful cinematography here. That black and white sequence gets to me every time I see it and is in stark contrast to the brilliant color footage in the rest of the film. The musical score is haunting and subtle but the Daisy numbers are all up-beat and Hollywood glam at it's best. Any Natalie Wood fan should see this film. Christopher Plummer is outstanding and gives one of the best performances of his career, IMO. Though I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves show-biz "rise-to-stardom" stories, I suggest you wait for the DVD to come out. I have stopped buying tapes; they're antique technology and simply do not last. We can only hope Amazon passes along the word that there is a buying public chomping at the bit to buy the DVD of Inside Daisy Clover.

Summary: so bad it's good
Comment: Despite being uneven and overdramatic in some spots, this movie is absolutely intriguing. The first fifteen minutes are basically pointless, but the rest is fabulous. The characters are so complex that at the end you're still wondering who was the bad guy and who was the good guy. Natalie Wood as Daisy Clover managaes to look beautiful even though she looks like a frumpy teenager. Roddy McDowall is the producer's snippy assistant. Katherine Bard plays Mrs. Swan, who tells Daisy "your husband never could resist a charming boy." Robert Redford looks extremely handsome as bisexual actor Wade Lewis (my favorite scene is when he talks to Daisy in the beautiful white bedroom). But the piece de resistance is Christopher Plummer as the ambiguous studio producer Raymond Swan. That guy is truly an amazing actor. The scenes he has with Daisy are my favorite (the swimming pool and beach house). The memorable script, the main actors, and the gorgeous, glamorous 1930s Hollywood setting make this movie worth seeing.

Summary: Quirky, But Charming
Comment: I watched this last night. Stayed up waayyy too late. What a movie. Natalie Wood is amazing. Flopping around on the boardwalk . . . an awkward, strong and oddly attractive waif-like character, barefoot, in dirty clothes with crazy hair, that at one point she cuts, instead of combing. Ruth Gordon is lovely. Robert Redford is convincing. And you always wonder what the heck is going on in Christopher Plummer's mind. Creepy. Generally, things end up on a sad note, this ain't Singing In The Rain, and I did get sick of hearing the song, Wood's character kept singing over and over, and not very well, about how she's gonna be a big star. But everything else is wonderful. A great movie.

Summary: Above Daisy Clover
Comment: This film, about the struggle of a young star movie to mantain her personality against Hollywood cruelty, will probably gives you a headache (and not a "HEARTACHE!, as it says one character), as it fastly turns on a bombastic, hopelessly phony melodrama.
The problem around "Inside Daisy Clover" is its superficiality, that makes its characters a little more than mere caricatures. It has good moments, really fascinating ideas, but the general tone is fastidiously icy.
Natalie Wood, performing a young talent (such a mix among Judy Garland and herself), gives an often exaggerated performance. However, she's always a lovely presence.
