THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969) Based on the book by Muriel Spark, this British schoolroom drama earned Maggie Smith an Academy Award for Best Actress for her iconic performance. The film centres around Jean Brodie (Smith), an unorthodox and charismatic teacher at a conservative girls' school in 1930s Edinburgh. Miss Brodie passionately educates her students about art, culture, and her own romanticised views of life, encouraging them to embrace their individuality and pursue bold lives. However, her influence becomes controversial as her personal ideals—particularly her admiration for fascist leaders—clash with the school's administration and the well-being of her students. The story explores themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal as Miss Brodie's manipulative hold over her favoured pupils begins to unravel.
