Event information
Screening in memory of Dame Maggie Smith, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1970 for her performance. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a 1969 British drama, based on the novel by Muriel Spark. It stars Maggie Smith as a free-spirited teacher at a girls’ school in Edinburgh during the 1930s. Headstrong and over romanticized, her behaviour becomes increasingly manipulative, drawing the ire of the school’s headmistress (Celia Johnson). “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 1969.
