I liked June Allyson's Jo, but it always bothers me when they get an actress to play Amy who is so old to begin with! This is worth a watch, but it's not my favorite version--I enjoyed Winona Ryder's version more. Was this review helpful? Yes

June Allyson is a spunky Jo, but far to old for the role. Liz Taylor is simply ridiculous as Amy, who is obviously much older than Beth (Margaret O'Brian) in this version, while the young actress playing Beth only points out how much older the actresses are. Peter Lawford is too wimpy as Laurie. Although this version sticks closer to the book, I like the version with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder much better. Don't bother. Was this review helpful? Yes

This is my favorite version of "Little Women!" The cast and characters are superb! At the end of watching this film for the first time, I immediately rewound the VHS and watched it again. It's that good! Was this review helpful? Yes

Colorful, beautiful to watch, superb acting, all filmed on staged sets with mural paintings to fill in the distant background. I still liked the 1990s version but this one was still a great movie to watch. Both movies emphasize and portray elements of the story differently. This one was very colorful, warm, and touching to watch. Very pretty movie. Was this review helpful? Yes

Though the plot deviates from the book in slight ways, the overall movie is well-worth watching. It's a nice blend between the austerity of the 1933 version and the sentimentality of the 90's version. Definitely worth watching! Was this review helpful? Yes

This is a solid version of the story and the one I grew up with, but I like the Hepburn one better (although Liz Taylor is a perfect Amy!) Was this review helpful? Yes

Love it! I've seen it a million times, and I just put it in my queue to watch it again. More than likely, I'll watch it several times before sending it back. I would like to own it. Was this review helpful? Yes

What a cast! You really can't go wrong with June Allyson, Liz Taylor, Margaret O'Brian and Peter Lawford, but the rest of the cast is spot on too. Such a wonderful rendition on Little Women. Like Lourie you want to stay all day watching the March girls through the picture window. They interact so well with each other you really believe they are sisters, and you go through all the emotions with them of war, growing up, sickness, predjudices among the classes, and lost loves, and finally happiness.Thie is definatly the best of the Little Women Versions. Margeret O'Brian plays Beth beautifully, but they do not dwell on her death in the movie but of life after. The Movie is beautifully done. One of my Favorites I love to watch Little Women around the holidays. Was this review helpful? Yes
