The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Maggie Smith.PART 2. Posted by: lochness11
Video duration: 561 seconds "Colour enlivens the spirit, does it not?" Miss Brodie is invited to an interview with the Headmistress. As a Scot, I can identify with some of the characters depicted in this film. This scene is filled with barely hidden mutual animosity.Perfect acting from Maggie Smith and Celia Johnson.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Maggie Smith.PART 3. Posted by: lochness11
Video duration: 452 seconds 'The Letter Scene'. Every good opera, or film must have a Letter Scene! La Traviata being an apt example. This one rates as one of the best! Without the superb acting of Maggie Smith, and Celia Johnsone, it could so easily have become a mere parody of what Muriel Spark intended. 10/10.
