Maggie Smith's tour-de-force performance as a school-teacher slipping into spinsterhood is one of several notable achievements in this sentimental and macabre personal tragedy.

Maggie Smith is handed a part in the eccentric, trite, purposeful and finally pathetic Jean Brodie which allows her to play to all her considerable strengths.

Maggie Smith in one of those technically stunning, emotionally distant performances that the British are so damn good at.

... misguidedly plays like a tragic romance.
