  • "Based on Muriel Spark's best-selling novel, the film earned a 1969 Best Actress Oscar for its star Maggie Smith. An inspiration to the young girls she teaches, and a challenge to the 1932 Edinburgh school which retains her services, the headstrong Jean Brodie (Smith) encourages fiercely independent thinking in her 12 year-old charges, who she influences with her over-romanticised world view. As she engages in ongoing battles with the school's rigid heads and bewilders two men in love with her, Miss Brodie also faces the biggest trial of her life when her career and livelihood become threatened."

  • "A Scottish schoolmistress is a bad influence on her impressionable charges."
  • ""I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the crème de la crème. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she{u2019}ll be mine for life. I am dedicated to you in my prime." Edinburgh, 1932. The world is on the cusp of change and at the forefront, leading the charge is the estimable Miss Brodie, teacher at the Marcia Blaine School for girls. As a new term begins for Miss Brodie, she is fully prepared. For whatever the subject, Miss Brodie is adept at bringing it around to the experiences girls should look forward to when they too are in their prime. Meanwhile Miss Brodie{u2019}s personal life is not so clear cut, torn as she is between the passionate advances of a young married artist, and the more conservative desires of a mature associate, she nevertheless manages to walk a strident path somewhere between the two. But Miss Brodie{u2019}s philosophy for living rubs up against the school{u2019}s rigid moral standards, and when one of her young charges is inspired into a tragic act of foolhardy bravery, an act of almost religious betrayal follows that will shake the firm convictions of Miss Brodie to the core."@en
