About this product

Product Information

Based on the novel by Muriel Spark, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE stars Maggie Smith in the title role. Smith won an Academy Award for her delicately textured portrayal of an eccentric teacher at an exclusive Scottish girl's school. Miss Jean exhorts her 'gels' to follow their hearts and never lose their youthful idealism. Unfortunately for her, she also stumps for her favourite political figures: Mussolini and Franco. In addition, she can't keep the innermost details of her private life a secret, and in fact boasts about her sex life to her students. Her prize pupil (Pamela Franklin) becomes so much a clone of Miss Jean that she ends up a threat to the teacher.

  • The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

    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

    While I am concerned that it doesn't play on my DVD player, it does play on my laptop DVD player. It did play well and it is a wonderful movie.

  • Wonderful film of wonderful book

    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

  • Acting at its best!

    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.
