Indeed, the primary power of this story is how easily we&#8217;re drawn into Smith&#8217;s world &#8212; who wouldn&#8217;t be rooting for a passionate, empowering, professional, unmarried woman in the early 1960s? &#8212; then given a sucker-punch to the gut as we realize her narcissistic ideology is leading to undeniably toxic outcomes. The nature of ideologies, of course, is that they&#8217;re so often taken as obvious and true &#8212; and when one is in any position of power and moral authority (as teachers are), they&#8217;re oh-so-easily transmitted. Franklin plays a pivotal role in this story as well, representing another type of powerful female &#8212; one who refuses to play along with the label she&#8217;s been assigned by her elder, and who is willing to take action on behalf of justice, albeit justice heavily tinged with resentment. The remaining supporting performances are also spot-on, from the various other girls in Jean Brodie&#8217;s &#8220;in-group&#8221;, to Johnson as her supervisor, to Stephens as her temperamental lover and Jackson playing (coincidentally?) a chap named &#8220;Gordon&#8221;. While Peary argues in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em> that Smith&#8217;s &#8220;performance is too mannered and theatrical for [his] tastes&#8221;, it&#8217;s difficult to imagine any other actress embodying this troubling literary icon. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maggie Smith as Jean Brodie<br \/>\n<a
