The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (PG)
Screening in memory of Dame Maggie Smith, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1970 for her performance. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a 1969 British drama, based on the novel by Muriel Spark. It stars Maggie Smith as a free-spirited teacher at a girls’ school in Edinburgh during the 1930s. Headstrong and over romanticized, her behaviour becomes increasingly manipulative, drawing the ire of the school’s headmistress (Celia Johnson). “Miss Smith’s performance is a staggering amalgam of counter-pointed moods, switches in voice levels and obliquely stated emotions, all of which are precisely right.” The New York Times 1969.
