      @@stephenbaker5413 She quit because, after going to Hollywood, she was pigeonholed in TV roles. She married another actor and they and their son have a bookshop in L.A. She is one of my favorite actresses ever, and, although I've read she's very happy (and certainly has had a much longer marriage than most stars who stayed in the business), I do selfishly wish she had done more acting roles and received more accolades.

    Maggie Smith richly deserved the Oscar she won, but in this scene one's eyes are continually drawn to nineteen-year-old Pamela Franklin as she faces down the teacher she once admired and has now betrayed to the headmistress. This is one of the greatest scenes between two actors ever filmed.

    This is probably the best scene in the unforgettable movie The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, this scene with Maggie Smith and Pamela Franklin. Maggie Smith gave a brilliant and haunting performance as Miss Brodie, one of the most deserving Best Actress Oscar winners. Pamela Franklin was also excellent in the role of Sandy who is advanced beyond her age. The two actresses couldn't have been better in this movie. Miss Franklin definitely deserved a Best Supporting Actress nomination as did Celia Johnson as the headmistress. All of them did wonderful accents of women from Scotland. I never get tired of watching this classic movie.

      Miss Brodie is indeed unbalanced and, from many viewpoints, pathetic. She is a genuine narcissist. But she also has a true magnificence and a sharp intelligence - the impact she had on her girls' lives was not all negative, despite what Sandy thinks in this scene. Part of the greatness of Smith's performance over the film is she captures that. The (very good) book also captures that because it can, being a book, have a lot more exposition.

      The 1970s was not a good decade for actresses. Very few good roles for women, and only a handful of stars getting them. The likes of Maggie Smith, Judy Dench and Diana Rigg achieved career longevity by being accomplished in theatre as well as film and television.

      Ms Franklin said going to the States was a bad career move. She was seen as only a TV actress. They only had to look at her resume to see differently. Jenny Agutter face the same sort of thing. On being considered for Logan's Run the director only saw her as "Jenny Augutter The Railway Children." It took a lot of convincing for him to see her differently.

    This film is a classic formula of a femmes fatale.

This film is wonderfully done.

I wish my parents had protected me from her. Anyway, Pamela Franklin in this scene says everything I wish I had said to my grandma.

      There is no doubt that this scene is INTENDED to be cathartic - that is what, in classical drama, is meant to happen in the recognition scene (when the central truths of the plot are revealed and the hero/heroine's illusions are torn away). Recognition scenes are usually also the drama's climax, as this one is.
