I was quite surprised by that movie, especially the scene involving young Pamela Franklin having her portrait painted. I hope she was older than she appeared to be. Maggie Smith's performance was predictably amazing, but at the time, I wasn't sure what to make of her character. I guess I was expecting a "Dead poet's Society" type of film, but instead, Miss Brodie was out-of-touch, pro-fascist and reckless in her encouragements to her charges. I may have to revisit with adjusted expectations someday, as I was quite thrown the first time around.
