Smile focuses on the legendary and controversial figure of Jim McLean, Dundee United's boss who took the team to new heights. He did something that no-one thought possible: turned a provincial football club into a genuine European force, though not without cost. Examining the life of this highly divisive icon, Smile shines light on the complexities and contradictions, the highs and lows and the triumphs and regrets of Dundee United's boss, ultimately revealing a Jim McLean not many knew: the one that makes you smile. Originally presented in February and March 2020 as part of Dundee Rep's 80th anniversary season which was cut short due to the global pandemic, this version of Smile is restaged and shot specifically for film and presented on Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre's new digital platform, Rep Studios.
