The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969: Ronald Neame)

Quote:
It is only right that this portrait of Edinburgh, in all its unashamed middle-class glory, should be included in any list of the creme de la creme of Scottish films, alongside films about proletarian Glaswegians and romantic Highlanders. Miss Brodie sees herself as a beacon of culture in the stuffy traditional school where she teaches, instilling in her girls an appreciation not just of Italian artists, but of Italian fascism. She is in her own way as narrow-minded and snobbish as anyone at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, and much more dangerous. Maggie Smith won an Oscar for her performance, and Rod McKuen’s theme tune remains a dry-throated classic, but the film owes much to its Edinburgh locations, the spirit of which it captures perfectly.
