Inside Daisy Clover is a 4 Leaf
A rather strange film upon revisit. For those who have loved Aldrich's LEGEND OF LYLAH CLARE and BAREFOOT CONTESSA--This one is for you. Granted Natalie Wood is playing young when the actress was in her late 20's--but her legend is alive and well in this film. Plummer is amazing, as is the actress who plays his manic depressive wife. The film is beautifully shot in and around LA, and the Kurt Weill'ish musical score by Previn is superb. A decidedly campy look inside the film studios of the Forties, but intriguing, interestingly acted, superbly scored, photographed, and one of those strange films in which the leading lady who died tragically offers many amazing moments to remember. The film was horribly reviewed when it was first released--but time and the personal stories, both successful and tragic, of many of its actors, give the film a certain fascination in 2002. Unfortunately it has not yet been released on DVD--but it must be seen in wide screen and not in the pan and scan version available on VHS. Gavin Lambert did the screenplay based on his own novel. . .and it works.

Trivia

Vocal recordings completed by Natalie Wood of the film's songs went unused and unheard on commercial recordings, until the April 2009 release of the complete dramatic score and song score by Film Score Monthly.

Quotes

Daisy Clover: The 24th of August, 1936; Angel Beach California, USA, the world, the universe; Angel Beach. Happy birthday Daisy Clover. I'm 15 today, but I won't let it go to my head. I'm still the same happy, adjusted, polite young lady. People say I'm quite ...

Goofs

The scene in which Wood has a nervous breakdown while "looping" (re-recording) her own singing voice has the process backwards: By the 1930s, movie musicals had learned to pre-record their star's vocals, then have them lip-sync to the track on camera.
