The Problematic Gaze
Direct from PG Towers, join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Each week we focus on a different piece of pop culture, and put it into context by looking at the news events and cultural landscape of the year it was released.
The Problematic Gaze
'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' British film from 1969. Maggie Smith, Girls and Mussolini
Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic British film "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie", starring Maggie Smith in an Oscar winning turn. Is Jean Brodie a romantic heroine or deluded egomaniac? One things for sure, she'd better watch her back. Her 'girls' are about to turn.
Also, Dave and Lee dive into their bulging sack, of Gazers emails. And just what has Dave left in the back of his Zoom shot?
You can watch 'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' on YouTube here.
