Die besten Jahre der Miss Jean Brodie (1969)

Die besten Jahre der Miss Jean Brodie: Directed by Ronald Neame. With Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin, Gordon Jackson. An eccentric Scottish schoolteacher’s extravagantly romantic ideas about life–and love–overly impress her young pupils and bring her into conflict with her school’s conservative headmistress.

“See it for Maggie Smith who was much deserving of her Best Actress Oscar in 1969. Iu0026#39;d rank this performance among the best ever preserved on film. Her character is unlike any youu0026#39;ve ever seen and ranks up there with Sandy Dennis in u0026quot;Up the Down Staircaseu0026quot; and Sidney Poitier in u0026quot;To Sir, With Loveu0026quot; as one of the most memorable teachers on screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRonald Neame does a nice job of moving the film along so the adapted play doesnu0026#39;t seem stagy. The focus is the wonderful adapted screenplay and the great cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe triumph of u0026quot;Jean Brodieu0026quot; is the final confrontation scene with Smith and young actress Pamela Franklin.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t miss it.”
