Review of Inside Daisy Clover (1966) by Lee Anne W — 07 Aug 2013

27 year-old Natalie Wood plays teenage spitfire Daisy Clover, who lives with her eccentric mother (Ruth Gordon) in a trailer on the pier. She is discovered, becomes a movie star, and marries gay, drunk Robert Redford (and it's clear in 1965 Hollywood, committing statutory rape is way more palatable than homosexuality).

Then she's sad. This is some crap melodrama, and the movie scenes are in no way authentic to the 1930s, but nobody does hysterics like Natalie Wood, and Ruth Gordon is wonderful as always.
