DVD: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie   Classic Film > Oscar® Films > 1969   DVDs   The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie    Discs    DVD Release Date       The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie   1   July 6, 2004   check prices     Maggie Smith is so witty and commanding in this film, you might forget that the script paints Jean Brodie as an ultimately self-deluding spinster. Dame Maggie won the first of her two Oscars for playing a teacher in 1930s Edinburgh more in thrall to her romantic notions of art and beauty than the real world, a cultivator of worshipping "Brodie Girls." (She exalts the Mona Lisa and Mussolini with equal fervor.) Smith's expert playing makes many of the brogue-heavy Brodie-isms worth memorizing ("She seeks to intimidate me by the use of quarter-hours.") and raises the picture above its generally theatrical style. Real-life husband Robert Stephens plays Jean's married lover, Celia Johnson excels as the hostile headmistress, and Pamela Franklin is the deadpan whistle-blower within Miss Brodie's coven. The dippy music of Rod McKuen helps mark the movie as more of a reflection of the '60s than the '30s. --Robert Horton   More...       See also: Classic Film on DVD - 1930-1969 1930   1931   1932   1933   1934   1935   1936   1937   1938   1939 1940   1941   1942   1943   1944   1945   1946   1947   1948   1949 1950   1951   1952   1953   1954   1955   1956   1957   1958   1959 1960   1961   1962   1963   1964   1965   1966   1967   1968   1969   Top Films on DVD - Oscar® Winners and Nominees A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I   J   K   L   M   N   O   P   Q   R   S   T   U   V   W   X   Y   Z   NowChannel TV Shows on DVD Classic TV   Entire Series on DVD Classic Film   Oscar® Winners More Genres of DVD   Oscar® is a registered trademark of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
