It’s adapted from a stage play that was itself adapted from a book, meaning it’s been trimmed and honed to absolute perfection. Events unfold in an Edinburgh girls’ school during the 1930s, an institution that follows the status quo like an obedient dog with tail firmly between legs. The well-spoken, progressive Miss Brodie is the antithesis of that. Her teaching methods aren't found on the curriculum, but her girls go on to be exceptional, although perhaps not in the eyes of a conservative society.
My weak synopsis doesn't do it justice; it's an extraordinary film.

A fantastic film.
This one's always floated around the family for some reason. I think it's the Maggie Smith worship.
Some of those "school girls" are hilariously apparent adults. XD

It’s a classic. It made me want to read the play and the novel.
the twenty-teens. :laugh: I’ve seen it be a lot worse, though.
