I'm very fond of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Made in 1969 (based on a 1961 book), it's another one set in a period that would have been familiar to quite a few middle-aged people at the time, i.e. the Spanish Civil War.
A lot of "interpretation" went into its making. I read the book long after I saw the movie; and I was astonished at the differences. IMO, it's much better. It's a crafted whole, in a way that the book wasn't.
