When a favourite actor passes I always pay tribute by watching something of theirs that I have liked. Sometimes several things. This was the first thing I turned to after I heard about Maggie Smith. But it will not be the last.
Ahhhhhh one of my favorite movies of all time. I often yell "assasin" at someone jokingly but I've yet to say it to anyone who knew that it came from this movie when Ms Brody screamed it down the stairwell at her pupil who ruined her.
RIP Maggie Smith. What a legend. This was the first flick I ever saw her work. Just listening to the theme song makes me emotional because my mother really loved the song (she passed away in 2009).
RIP Dame Maggie Smith. I was just a kid when I saw the movie. And I didn't understand what it was all about. But I saw a teacher with passion for teaching.
I saw this film as a kid, like 11 years old, loved it, but on the news of Dame Maggie Smith’s Death resolved to rewatch it. I saw it for free on RUclips. It was 100,000 times better than I remembered. Killer performance by Maggie Smith, intricate plot, amazing period piece, great and amazing film. Finally, a film that captures what it is to grow up as a woman.
It is actually quite deceiving as the film has completely different feel. Not to mention when they say "whole rebellious generation of Jean Brodies..." - it is an utter nonsense.
RIP Dame Celia Johnson (December 18, 1908 - April 26, 1982), aged 73 RIP Gordon Jackson (December 12, 1923 - January 15, 1990), aged 66 RIP Sir Robert Stephens (July 14, 1931 - November 12, 1995), aged 64 RIP Dame Maggie Smith (December 28, 1934 - September 27, 2024), aged 89 You will be remembered as legends
I remember watching this film in the late 1970s. I would repeat the lines, "I don't understand you, Jean. You will not marry me, but yet you feed me and share my bed." Share your bed? Why can't you say you are my lover?" And the line, "Soon you will graduate, and I will no longer teach you, but you will always be Brodie girls." Thank you for all the great work. RIP Dame Margaret Natalie Smith.
I didn't realize that it was Celia Johnson who played the headmistress. She was the female lead in "Brief Encounter," 1945, a wonderful film reflecting the moods and attitudes of the post-war era in Britain.
True that. But also reminds me of the quality of the that confrontation between Barbara (Judi Dench) and Sheba (Cate Blanchette) in Notes on a Scandal.
Yes, it’s electrifying and of supreme importance, yet it’s just a headmistress and a teacher one day at school. Miss Brodie would be thrilled that the everyday was elevated to literature and high art
Maggie did an extraordinary job of making us love an anti-hero; sadly most Americans didn't really understand the movie when it came out. The only thing they remember is the theme song, which was the scourge of my time in high school. My nickname is Gene and the vicious idiots of my youth used the song to deride me. But they came to nothing in life. Like Miss Brodie, my prime has outshined them all! Thank you, Dame Maggie Smith, we have your movies, TV, and theatrical performances to remind us of what is important in life. Rest in a much-deserved peace.
I loved the novel by Muriel Spark, I didn't know until today that they had made a movie in the 1960s out of it (or rather, the stage version) and that Maggie Smith won an Oscar for it.
The play by Jay Presson Allen, who also did the screenplay for the film, was a success in London (with Vanessa Redgrave) and on Broadway (with Zoe Caldwell). There is a later 7-part TV adaptation of the novel (Geraldine McEwan, another great choice!); I don't know how closely it follows the novel.

Here's a fun fact. In The Dance Sequence there was a Young Girl who was an Extra who in 1974 debuted on Coronation Street. It was none other than Helen Worth (Wigglesworth) as Gail. She's practically grown up on The Street.
I saw this when I was 12. I had always wanted to be a teacher. Although I didn't pick up on all the nuances Spark captured on paper ... This confirmed the type of Educator I wanted to be ... it is a calling and a gift to lead younger people out to find their Inspirations.
No its not. Its a job with certain requirements. The teachers who think "they are the chosen ones" and got "called to lead younger people" are usually amongst the worst and highly irritating ones.
OMG, watching this trailer is like watching Downton Abbey v. Upstairs Downstairs! In this corner we have the Dowager Countess Violet Crawley, and this corner we have loyal butler to the Bellamys, Angus Hudson.
Well, you really are thick. It's here on RUclips. Do you not know how to use a search bar? And if it had not been here, do you not know how to use Google? It's all over the place.
The scenes of the art teacher and the underaged student would garner some rebuke in today’s atmosphere though i sure ... and the way he also assaulted Jean in the ladies room as well .... my have times changed
This film is strange. The first half has not aged well and it was a bit boring but the second half vindicates the whole film. It is quite funny how the trailer is deceiving in what the whole atmosphere and meaning of the whole film is.
Well, the film and the trailer have that wretched song by Rod McKuen, which is a bit misleading. The actual film has a good deal more toughness to it, thanks in part to Jay Presson Allen's script and to the actors, especially Maggie Smith, Celia Johnson and Pamela Franklin, who are all superb.
Most films don’t do the original books justice,having said that,this is a young Maggie Smith playing the part of Miss Brodie brilliantly and is a very enjoyable film for its era.
I knew this day would come but it still hurts. She was extraordinary.
Well said.
What day?
I love this film. I've watched this numerous times with my teacher friend.
Came here to pay tribute to Dame Maggie. R. I. P talented & much loved lady
I saw this in the theater in 1969. I've never forgotten it nor Maggie Smith's brilliant performance.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith (Dec 29, 1934 - Sept 27, 2024) Aged 89. There will never be another.
Rest in peace Dame Maggie Smith😢. We will miss your talent and personality. Your legacy will live on. Thank you for your brilliant work.
Rest in Peace Maggie Smith. Your performance in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie still resonates and thrills me adter nearly 50 years ❤

RIP Maggie Smith. What a legend. This was the first flick I ever saw her work. Just listening to the theme song makes me emotional because my mother really loved the song (she passed away in 2009).
A perfect film. Maggie Smith, who is always divine, is utterly brilliant in this film. One of the greatest of any performances in any film
RIP Dame Maggie Smith. I was just a kid when I saw the movie. And I didn't understand what it was all about. But I saw a teacher with passion for teaching.

Rest in peace to legendary actress Dame Maggie Smith 27/09/24
Even 50 years ago, they would give away the entire plot in the trailer.
Buhahahahahaha
It really doesn't
It wouldn't matter coz the film would be incredibly beautiful no matter what they did ❤️👍🏻
It is actually quite deceiving as the film has completely different feel. Not to mention when they say "whole rebellious generation of Jean Brodies..." - it is an utter nonsense.
But not the ending. Exquisite.
Legend. 😢 RIP, Dame Maggie Smith.
This trailer is a pretty good microcosm of the movie. "Ah, what a nice charming school pastoral, this is really wholesom- wait what? WHAT?!"
Schoolgirl for a mistress...
This movie is a classic. Saw it as a teen so many years ago. RIP Dame Smith. Legends don’t die!

RIP Maggie Smith
one of my favourites, Maggie Smith is sublime!
Had it been her time, and Deborah Kerr was unavailable for the role, Maggie Smith would have been divine as Sister Clodagh in, 'Black Narcissus.'
I agree Deborah is still magnificent in the part though and as she has my maiden name I have to chose her for the part!😊
RIP Dame Maggie Smith (28 December 1934 - 27 September 2024), aged 89
One of the very greats.

Rest in Peace Dame Maggie Smith, you were a wonderful actresss.
RIP, Maggie, we all loved you, and you will live forever on film!
Anyone who sees Miss Smith's great performance will be rewarded.
I didn't realize that it was Celia Johnson who played the headmistress. She was the female lead in "Brief Encounter," 1945, a wonderful film reflecting the moods and attitudes of the post-war era in Britain.
Maggie Smith gives a superlative performance. The confrontation scene with the head mistress is one of the best ever recorded on film.
True that. But also reminds me of the quality of the that confrontation between Barbara (Judi Dench) and Sheba (Cate Blanchette) in Notes on a Scandal.
I used that scene for an audition at UCB and got thee part!
Yes, it’s electrifying and of supreme importance, yet it’s just a headmistress and a teacher one day at school. Miss Brodie would be thrilled that the everyday was elevated to literature and high art
No.

Radio 4 dedicated a good part of its news to Maggie. Thats an honor in anyones life.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith. You will be missed so much. 💖
Rest in peace, Maggie Smith, you were indeed extraordinary.
Is there anything more sublime than listening to Ms Brody reciting the poem, "The Lady of Shallot" ?
Yes, silence.
Rip! will have to watch this in her honor!
Rest in Peace... We will miss you Dame Maggie Smith
I loved the novel by Muriel Spark, I didn't know until today that they had made a movie in the 1960s out of it (or rather, the stage version) and that Maggie Smith won an Oscar for it.
The film doesn't follow the book too very closely. The Brodie "set" is reduced from six girls to four, and there are other conspicuous differences.
and a well deserved Oscar too
The play by Jay Presson Allen, who also did the screenplay for the film, was a success in London (with Vanessa Redgrave) and on Broadway (with Zoe Caldwell). There is a later 7-part TV adaptation of the novel (Geraldine McEwan, another great choice!); I don't know how closely it follows the novel.
Rest in peace thank you for your briljant acting, just briljant...one off the best ever for me❤
Rest in peace, Maggie Smith.
Rest in peace Dame Maggie Smith…❤🙏🏽

It is actually Maggie Smith. Professor McGonagall and Hogwarts are fiction.
I know

RIP Dame Maggie Smith
Godspeed, Maggie.
Aaah.. young Minerva
I feel professor McGonagall would probably not be a fascist
Who would've thought Professor McGonagall was such a naught teacher! Wonder if that's why Hogwarts didn't hire her first.
❤ you will be missed 😢
Strange to have a still image in a trailer (1:25). Who else noticed it?
Yep, but could also be a freeze in the original capture/render.
Old trailers sometimes just threw up production stills. We would almost never do it today but the art of making a trailer has evolved.
Here's a fun fact. In The Dance Sequence there was a Young Girl who was an Extra who in 1974 debuted on Coronation Street. It was none other than Helen Worth (Wigglesworth) as Gail. She's practically grown up on The Street.
Downtown abbey brought me here in 2021
Me too!!
Downtown???
We will always be Brody girls!
Farewell Miss Maggie Smith
Schoolgirl for a mistress. This movie gets three thumbs up from the jimmy saville movie rating system.
QI brought me here.
“My dear, I have been told I have no accent whatever!”
“Jean, Jean, you’re young and alive
Which beats being old and dead.”
RIP Ms Brodie
That is Pamela Franklin.... the little girl 'Flora' from The Innocents (the greatest of all ghost movies). She is fantastic.
RIP Maggie Smith
Heartbreaking... ours life's suffer much heartbreak.
There was a Blooper on The UK Series Bad Girls where Simone Lahbib talked about how she sounded like Miss Jean Brodie
RIP🕊️

Do you want to be a pedophile?
No its not. Its a job with certain requirements. The teachers who think "they are the chosen ones" and got "called to lead younger people" are usually amongst the worst and highly irritating ones.
It would appear you missed the whole point of the film.
OMG, watching this trailer is like watching Downton Abbey v. Upstairs Downstairs! In this corner we have the Dowager Countess Violet Crawley, and this corner we have loyal butler to the Bellamys, Angus Hudson.
RiP Miss Brodie.
I was gonna do this at a theatre club-
Multiple times:
“Mary Macgreggor died a heroin-“
“SHE DIED A FOOL“
Heroine = a female hero
Heroin = an opioid
Rest in peace eternal McGonagall
Could you please upload the 35mm theatrical trailer of California Suite please
Awesome!
Wow Maggie Smith era joven!
Maggie Smith RIP. 🌹
I watched this movie with my ex and he asked is this where Prof. Mcgonagall worked before Hogwarts? 😂
Where can I watch this movie can’t find anywh😢ere
Well, you really are thick. It's here on RUclips. Do you not know how to use a search bar? And if it had not been here, do you not know how to use Google? It's all over the place.
Just thought of ghost this morning and how funny was this 🤣
Pretty spoilery trailer.
PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL!!! IS THAT YOUUUU !?!
Is that Maggie Smith? Downton Abby!!
J'ai pratiquement rencontré tout les acteur de se film au moins 8 fois
The scenes of the art teacher and the underaged student would garner some rebuke in today’s atmosphere though i sure ... and the way he also assaulted Jean in the ladies room as well .... my have times changed
Maravilhoso.
This film is strange. The first half has not aged well and it was a bit boring but the second half vindicates the whole film. It is quite funny how the trailer is deceiving in what the whole atmosphere and meaning of the whole film is.
Gordon was brilliant too the archetypal Scotsman
An International Treasure!
I havent seen this movie, but from the trailer, it doesnt seem to be in the same spirit as the book
Well, the film and the trailer have that wretched song by Rod McKuen, which is a bit misleading. The actual film has a good deal more toughness to it, thanks in part to Jay Presson Allen's script and to the actors, especially Maggie Smith, Celia Johnson and Pamela Franklin, who are all superb.

My auntie Val always said I looked like jean Brodie!
Is this the exact story of the prime of miss Jean Brodie?
No, changes were made from the book to the film.
Look at Professor Minerva McGonagall so young and so this was her career started before working at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry
Maggie Smith Blonde Beauty 😍😊👌
'Blonde Beauty'? Maggie Smith is an auburn red-head!
Lol she was 79 in this movie and aged ten years between the making of this movie and her death.
What are you maundering about? She was 35 when she made this film.
Clearly in scotland the phrase she died a herione and she died of herion is very confusing.
Maybe to you, who can't spell it in either meaning.
So was Professor McGonagall basically a homewrecker?
👏 👏 👏 👏
Professor with ginger hair
If only men have Adam's apples why does Maggie have a large bulging one?
🙏♥️🙏🤍🕊
Why is this being commented upon by an American accent?????!!!!!
Hooray for Hollywood!
