"the singers Oliver"?

Should this be "singer" rather than "singers"?

Or is it meant to be "singers Oliver and..." somebody else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.126.36 (talk) 21:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SANDY'S BETRAYAL

The article states that it was Sandy's revelation of Miss Brodie's affairs with male teachers to the Board of Governors that convinced them to sack Miss Brodie. I've always felt that it was Miss Brodie's admiration of facist leaders that was the "last straw." Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I THOUGHT that when speaking to Miss McKay, Sandy asks "have you considered politics?" By this point in history, much of the admiration many people in the UK had had for facist leaders was fading and turning into alarm, though I realize this conjecture is straying into the forbidden field of original research... However, we do know that the "affair" with the art master was five or six years in the past, and the music master was about to be engaged to another teacher.

It is in the play that Sandy asks Miss McKay if she had considered politics. In the movie, we only see Sandy knocking on Miss McKay's door.Kostaki mou (talk) 05:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also in the movie, during their final confrontation, Miss Brodie says that Miss McKay had tried "every feeble excuse, including that of immorality" in her efforts to dismiss Brodie, and failed, and that now she was being accused of teaching "treason and sedition." This confirms that it is Miss Brodie's attempts to impose her politics on her students that are the cause of her dismissal, not her love affairs. Kostaki mou (talk) 03:07, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, implicating Gordon Lowther and Teddy Lloyd would endanger them as well as Brodie, which was certainly not Sandy's intention. Kostaki mou (talk) 19:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DeLuxe Color

The opening sentence does not need to describe the film as a "Deluxe Color film". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.47.152 (talk) 13:39, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
