Factual error: As director Ronald Neame himself points out in his commentary to the DVD, immediately after Sandy has been heating a piece of bread in the fireplace, she grabs the end of the fork on which it is placed and does not burn herself. (00:19:00)
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)
Directed by: Ronald Neame
Starring: Maggie Smith, Gordon Jackson, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin
Other mistake: The split second that a running student passes in front of her, Miss Mackay calls her name and restrains her, reacting much faster than humanly possible. (00:02:50)
Continuity mistake: A party that is in full swing when Miss Brodie enters another room for her final confontation with Sandy has dispersed when she leaves only a few minutes later.
Teddy Lloyd: A man with a wife and six children plus a schoolgirl for a mistress can be called any number of rude names, but "coward" is not one of them.
Jean Brodie: Ah, chrysanthemums. Such serviceable flowers.
Sandy: I'm not sure about God, but I am now quite sure about witches.
