The film version of the successful stage adaptation of Muriel Spark's novel.
Starring Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin, Gordon Jackson, Celia Johnson.
In Edinburgh in the early 30s at the conventional Marcia Blaine School for Girls, Jean Brodie scandalises her more sedate colleagues - and delights her pupils - by ignoring the prescribed curriculum in order to prepare her girls for Life with a capital L.
Maggie Smith won an Oscar for her remarkable performance as the eccentric teacher whose illusions are destined to be shattered.
