The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)
Country: GB
Technical: col 116m
Director: Ronald Neame
Cast: Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin
Synopsis:
A Scottish schoolmistress's eccentric teaching methods and liberated ideas about life and love bring her into conflict with her superiors and exert an unforeseen influence on her charges.
Review:
Smith completely inhabits the role and in that respect this a highly convincing adaptation of Spark's novel, at the same time very much a product of the sixties, when perhaps it would have been better had it been made close on the book, at the start of the decade, or by someone less establishment than Neame.
