We started watching "The Prime of Miss Jane Brodie" - unfortunately the DVD we got from blockbuster is messed up so we had to stop about 1/4 of the way into it.

Man, what a bizarre movie!!! "Jane Brodie" has an accent straight out of Monty Python, for starters. She a prig but simultaneously a flirt, she is staunchly conservative, outspokenly individualistic, disdainful of authority, and an adoring admirer of Mussolini! Where in the heck is this train wreck headed I wonder???? It looks like she'll probably end up being caught in a sex scandal with one of her colleagues, but pregnant by another - and her in-class homages to "Il Duce" are almost certainly going to get her into trouble, too. And there's lots of teenage hormonal angst roiling just below the surface while everything else is going on. On the one hand I am really curious what it's all about, but I don't want to find out more until I've seen the whole movie.
