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.
