The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)

Think of it as the prequel to "Mona Lisa Smile."   When an Edinburgh all-girl's schoolteacher begins instructing her apt pupils how to live life as a modern woman, her two affairs with male colleagues threatens the safety of her job.  Though most of her pupils support her modern perspective, there's one who thinks that, just maybe
Miss Jean Brodie doesn't know everything about life, and perhaps, there's more to be said for "self discovery" than mentor-based education, no matter how liberal and sincere.

The cast includes: Maggie Smith, Pamela Franklin, Robert Stephens, Gordon
Jackson, Celia Johnson, Diane Grayson, and Jane Carr.
