🎬 The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)

Set in 1930s Edinburgh, Miss Jean Brodie is the sort of teacher who handpicks girls as her favourites and moulds them to her tastes in creative freedom, romance and (fascist-leaning) politics. Maggie Smith’s Oscar-winning performance brings both charm and menace to one of literature’s most complex and compelling characters.

‘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
