The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)

Poster for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

In the surprising world of Jean Brodie, there were two men and four girls.

A headstrong young teacher in a private school in 1930s Edinburgh ignores the curriculum and influences her impressionable 12-year-old charges with her over-romanticized worldview.
