"The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" w/ #MaggieSmith (1969).

Miss Brodie teaches at an all-girls school in #Edinburgh in the 30s. She's "unconventional" and trying to teach her pupils about life, the preciousness of it. Think Robin Williams in "Dead Poets Society." Her character has an out-loud soft spot for fascists, though—Franco and Mussolini.

She's reported for teaching politics and the Headmistress wants her head on a platter ... https://youtu.be/84MIQ8x44w8

🎬 Three of my favorite actresses star in "The Miracle Club"—#MaggieSmith #KathyBates and #LauraLinney.

The trailer indicates a feel-good story set in #Ireland about unwed #mothers, the #Catholic church, regret, #reconciliation #miracles, and the healing waters of #Lourdes.

The trailer is ruined by emotionally-manipulative music. Hope the film itself isn't.

Premieres at the #TribecaFestival in June.

The Honey Pot (1967) - 1/4 - Is it a sex comedy? Is it a murder mystery? Why, halfway into the film, have we suddenly started using voice-over? Drawing from a hodgepodge of source material (Mr. Fox of Venice, The Evil of the Day, and Volpone), this film is confused about what it is or should be. Other than some decent performances from its ensemble cast, particularly #MaggieSmith and #RexHarrison, there isn’t too much to recommend this one.
