The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

British Ronald Neame directs Maggie Smith in her iconic role as a teacher with delusions of grandeur as she influences her impressionable students that ends in tragedy. Smith is glorious as the colorful and charismatic Jean Brodie in this morality drama about false prophets and their danger to the society. The film's look and style are dated but not its content along with the performance of Maggie Smith in her greatest role. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
