(Ronald Neame, UK, 1969, 35mm, 116 min)
Based on the novel by Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie stars Maggie Smith as an eccentric and loveable teacher at an exclusive Catholic girl's school in 1930s Edinburgh. The charismatic, idiosyncratic, fearless and funny Jean Brodie is worshipped by her students, adored by her married lover (Robert Stephens, Smith's real-life husband at the time) and cordially hated by the Headmistress (Celia Johnson). Smith won her first Oscar for this role.
