Ahhhhhh one of my favorite movies of all time. I often yell "assasin" at someone jokingly but I've yet to say it to anyone who knew that it came from this movie when Ms Brody screamed it down the stairwell at her pupil who ruined her.

She was technically telling Sandy to "go f herself."

Even 50 years ago, they would give away the entire plot in the trailer.

It really doesn't

[@hsd287]

It wouldn't matter coz the film would be incredibly beautiful no matter what they did ❤️👍🏻

[@tomasvlcek4476]

It is actually quite deceiving as the film has completely different feel. Not to mention when they say "whole rebellious generation of Jean Brodies..." - it is an utter nonsense.

[@debchancy2066]

But not the ending. Exquisite.

RIP Dame Celia Johnson (December 18, 1908 - April 26, 1982), aged 73 RIP Gordon Jackson (December 12, 1923 - January 15, 1990), aged 66 RIP Sir Robert Stephens (July 14, 1931 - November 12, 1995), aged 64 You will be remembered as legends.

This trailer is a pretty good microcosm of the movie. "Ah, what a nice charming school pastoral, this is really wholesom- wait what? WHAT?!"

Schoolgirl for a mistress...

[@debraglendinning7038]

one of my favourites, Maggie Smith is sublime!

[@thorn262]

Had it been her time, and Deborah Kerr was unavailable for the role, Maggie Smith would have been divine as Sister Clodagh in, 'Black Narcissus.'

[@debraglendinning7038]

I agree Deborah is still magnificent in the part though and as she has my maiden name I have to chose her for the part!😊

[@danawinsor1380]

I didn't realize that it was Celia Johnson who played the headmistress. She was the female lead in "Brief Encounter," 1945, a wonderful film reflecting the moods and attitudes of the post-war era in Britain.

[@piustwelfth]

Maggie Smith gives a superlative performance. The confrontation scene with the head mistress is one of the best ever recorded on film.

[@DRthistle]

True that. But also reminds me of the quality of the that confrontation between Barbara (Judi Dench) and Sheba (Cate Blanchette) in Notes on a Scandal.

[@deborist]

I used that scene for an audition at UCB and got thee part!

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Yes, it’s electrifying and of supreme importance, yet it’s just a headmistress and a teacher one day at school. Miss Brodie would be thrilled that the everyday was elevated to literature and high art

[@thejoe9065]

No.

[@GroovyShelly]

A perfect film. Maggie Smith, who is always divine, is utterly brilliant in this film. One of the greatest of any performances in any film

[@65wiseman]

Anyone who sees Miss Smith's great performance will be rewarded.

I loved the novel by Muriel Spark, I didn't know until today that they had made a movie in the 1960s out of it (or rather, the stage version) and that Maggie Smith won an Oscar for it.

[@basilmarasco1975]

The film doesn't follow the book too very closely. The Brodie "set" is reduced from six girls to four, and there are other conspicuous differences.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

and a well deserved Oscar too

[@treesny]

The play by Jay Presson Allen, who also did the screenplay for the film, was a success in London (with Vanessa Redgrave) and on Broadway (with Zoe Caldwell). There is a later 7-part TV adaptation of the novel (Geraldine McEwan, another great choice!); I don't know how closely it follows the novel.

[@lucian2dbone670]

Is there anything more sublime than listening to Ms Brody reciting the poem, "The Lady of Shallot" ?

[@thejoe9065]

Yes, silence.

Who would've thought Professor McGonagall was such a naught teacher! Wonder if that's why Hogwarts didn't hire her first.

[@laminage]

There was a Blooper on The UK Series Bad Girls where Simone Lahbib talked about how she sounded like Miss Jean Brodie

[@laminage]

Here's a fun fact. In The Dance Sequence there was a Young Girl who was an Extra who in 1974 debuted on Coronation Street. It was none other than Helen Worth (Wigglesworth) as Gail. She's practically grown up on The Street.

[@KeldorDAntrell]

Strange to have a still image in a trailer (1:25). Who else noticed it?

[@FrankOConnor]

Yep, but could also be a freeze in the original capture/render.

[@brainfat1]

Old trailers sometimes just threw up production stills. We would almost never do it today but the art of making a trailer has evolved.

[@dr.calebrobbins.3177]

I saw this when I was 12. I had always wanted to be a teacher. Although I didn't pick up on all the nuances Spark captured on paper ... This confirmed the type of Educator I wanted to be ... it is a calling and a gift to lead younger people out to find their Inspirations.

[@corriedebeer799]

Do you want to be a pedophile?

[@thejoe9065]

No its not. Its a job with certain requirements. The teachers who think "they are the chosen ones" and got "called to lead younger people" are usually amongst the worst and highly irritating ones.

I havent seen this movie, but from the trailer, it doesnt seem to be in the same spirit as the book

[@treesny]

Well, the film and the trailer have that wretched song by Rod McKuen, which is a bit misleading. The actual film has a good deal more toughness to it, thanks in part to Jay Presson Allen's script and to the actors, especially Maggie Smith, Celia Johnson and Pamela Franklin, who are all superb.

[@danielwinner3735]

The curious thing is Jean Brodie was "progressive" and was enthralled with Fascism as many progressives were at the time. She is considered by head mistress Miss Mackay to be too progressive for the conservative school Marcia Blaine and is ultimately dismissed.

[@markw4206]

@@danielwinner3735 Um, maybe "progressive" in terms of teaching philosophy. But the leftist reformers (including those who wanted to soften the stranglehold Catholicism had on the country's public life) were firmly on the side of the Republic, as I understand it. Franco was stoutly aligned with the Right. Not sure what you mean by that term here.

[@danielwinner3735]

@@markw4206 Leftists were not necessarily progressives and progressives in the 1930s certainly had different objectives than they do today, but Fascism WAS considered a progressive movement at the time as strange as it seems. The new fascist movement was a progressive ideology; progressive in that it rejected the status quo while conservatives wanted to maintain it. In the 30s, progressives embraced racist theories that included eugenics as well as nationalism. Today we associate those things with ultra conservatism, just like how the Republicans in America were anti-slavery and the Democrats were pro slavery/Jim Crow, these parties symbolize the opposite today.
