Nov 22, 2008 - Thankyou very much that was puzzling me greatly... thought it might have have been some reference to Miss Mackay being a pudding. love Maggie for this, definitely her best film

Dec 5, 2008 - Meryl, her name was Anna Pavlova, the greatest dancer of all time, many still believe. I knew an old lady who'd seen Pavlova, and she said it was a mind-blowing, spiritual experience. YT has some old clips of her dancing, but sadly, the quality isn't too great.

Mar 21, 2009 - even the lump in her throat as she suppresses a laugh is so well acted. Superb!

lochness11 Says:

Mar 23, 2009 - Yes.This scene is my favourite of the entire film. Miss Mackay can barely read the letter,and Jean's response is magnificent!

kernowoggie Says:

Mar 23, 2009 - I shall be in Edinburgh later this year. It goes without saying that I shall, no doubt, be unable to resist having a few "tounge in cheek" Brodie moments. Wonder if I'll walk into room at exactly 4.15pm?!!

Sep 16, 2009 - The entire suppressed laugh is priceless !!!!!

57highland Says:

Sep 16, 2009 - "If scandal is to your taste, Miss MacKay, I will give you a FEAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" God, I don't think writing gets any better than that!
