Summary of this DVD...
This 1969 movie is about a radical, narcissistic teacher in a Scotland girls school in the 1930's. She is obsessed with herself and the girls are only a means to an end - promoting her political and romantic ideas.

She ends up literally causing the death of one student and the seduction of another and still cannot see where she has been wrong. I saw this movie a long time ago and didn't understand it. I must have been pretty young to see this. Now I do. It is a stunning performance by Maggie Smith.
This type of DVD is good for...
anyone who wants to see the beautiful Maggie Smith in her own prime.
I especially liked...
Maggie Smith and Pamela Franklin and their interaction.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
watch Downton Abbey again.
This DVD made me feel...
like I'd seen one of the greatest performances ever. There is nothing sympathetic about Maggie Smith's character of Miss Jean Brodie.
The cast of this DVD...
does a terrific job although the Scottish accents are a bit hard to understand.
I recommend this DVD because...
if you love Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey, then this is a fascinating view into her youth as an actress.
