The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), 3 Stars

Dame Maggie Smith 2007 Wikipedia
This movie is worth seeing if only to watch a young Maggie Smith in 'full flight'. She dominates each scene (even when not on the screen) and she was honoured with an Academy Award that year.

There are also strong performances by Robert Stephens (Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet 1968) and Pamela Franklin (who doesn't appear to have accomplished much else in film).

The movie shows some age and has a '1960's feel' to it but is still a good story. We found it on Netflix.
