Bogdanovich turns this worldy-wise matron into a more raw, sensual character with hints of an affair just ending between her and Winterbourne. Admittedly, Eileen Brennan's performance as the feline Mrs. Walker is very convincing. However, to pull it off completely, the film has to enlarge another character from the book into Mrs. Walker's present lover. This fellow that throws Winterbourne knowing glances about his real intentions with Daisy...
