The Prime of Miss Jean BrodieMiss Brodie is a slightly mad teacher who presents her fanatical image of life as a romantic adventure. An inspiration to the young women she teachers, Miss Brodie espouses her wisdom on art and music as well as fascism. Ultimately, one of her pupils betrays her by seducing the professor Miss Brodie loves, and finally by accusing Miss Brodie's behavior as the cause of the death of a student. |
