Maggie Smith is impressive in this: insightful, tender, hilarious and always standing still. A once in a lifetime, flawed character for her in a witty film by Neame that falls in interest whenever Smith is not on focus.

Stagy but engrossing period piece dominated by a superb performance by the always watchable Maggie Smith.

A period classic, expertly acted, with a few steps into the camp camp.

Jean Brodie is a character that's simultaneously sympathetic and admirable as well as frustrating and somewhat repugnant. It's a combination that's very hard to execute convincingly, and all credit should go to Maggie Smith who creates a very compelling and nuanced character. Striking a balance between comedy and drama, it's a very enjoyable character study.

The best performance by a film actress I have ever seen. Whoever cast Maggie Smith as Miss Jean Brodie was a genius. Pamela Franklin was excellent as well. The story itself is ho-hum, but I love to watch it just to see Smith play the one and only Miss Jean Brodie.
