The interesting life story of Muriel Spark.There are many changes between the book & the film. The 1969 movie was not a huge hit at the time but when Dame Maggie Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1970, it went back into the theaters and became a classic. The complicated story about education and mentorship is an indictment on giving one person too much power over a young mind. Turns out Brodie is a Fascist which is her ultimate undoing. The competition for her attention and affection marks their relationships and is a game the girls enjoy watching. Lowther is a kind person but a bit wishy-washy. Lloyd who is a painter, father of six, and a bit of a letch. Each year she picks a group of students to be an elite part of the “Brodie set”–under her tutelage learning mostly about the arts & beauty (and not science!)īrodie is single and considers herself at her “prime” with two gentlemen vying for her affection. Brodie is a popular teacher at a girls’ school in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1931. The Margos are celebrating September with a series of “Back to School” episodes starting with 1961 classic The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark.
