Miss Brodie is indeed unbalanced and, from many viewpoints, pathetic. She is a genuine narcissist. But she also has a true magnificence and a sharp intelligence - the impact she had on her girls' lives was not all negative, despite what Sandy thinks in this scene. Part of the greatness of Smith's performance over the film is she captures that. The (very good) book also captures that because it can, being a book, have a lot more exposition.

[@njplr]

​​@@kenoliver8913 Very well observed. Miss Brodie's narcissism is like, yet utterly unlike, two contemporary narcissists, Meghan Markle and Donald Trump. There is as you say, an underlying magnificence to hers, with a strong positive undercurrent. Muriel Spark wrote a masterpiece with this book, as did the actresses who brought it to life.

What a scene between two actresses. What a film.

Two magnificent actresses

[@machovoce6826]

Smith and Johnson are pitch perfect. Could not find two actresses in the US who could match them today.

This is the first time i see this scene. And oh my is this girl good. Such a dynamic and what a voice control.

I was too young to see this movie at the time. Never saw it. But, I have a dvd of the secret garden, & Maggie Smith's hair, voice, & attitude are Exactly the Same, in both movies, even though, they're decades apart.

The legendary MAGGIE SMITH.

[@JHarder1000]

Some of the greatest acting ever by two females of the species. Incidentally, that was Mr.Hudson, Gordon Jackson, singing "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose"

[@SuperWolsey]

That was him?? Christ, he could've done himself a whole one off album had he wanted to

[@ghound-md5ey]

He also played the piano in this. Talented man ...
