Made in 1968. THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE earned an Academy Award for BEST ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLL for MAGGIE SMITH. Set in an Edinburgh girls school in 1932, it tells the tale of teacher Miss Jean Brodie's somewhat original approach to educating adolescent school girls in her classes at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls. Be prepared for endless confrontation between Miss Brodie and the Headmistress, who it seems is hellbent on dismissing her insubordinate teacher. Interwoven into this plot are the amorous adventures between pupils and staff with a serving of nudity and rejection. An excellent addition to any good DVD library and quite rare to find these days. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a really good yarn. DAVE COX

I saw the film when it first came out in 1968 and was enchanted by it. I have read the book since and it relates to it well. Recently I have longed to see it again but it never seems to be featured in TV - so I was delighted to find a copy on e-bay

Great classic movie. One of those rare films which is as good as (perhaps even better than) the book on which it's based

This is a classic! To see Maggie Smith in her earliest feature film, and compare this with her performance in TV's Downton Abbey is a privilege.
