Region 2 Spanish import, plays in English without subtitles. Plot: This lush and beautifully photographed production of Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel contains more star power than any of its predecessors or successors in the 20th century. The setting is Concord, Massachusetts, during the Civil War, and Marmee Marach (Mary Astor) is attempting to raise her four teenage daughters in a time of deprivation and with her husband away fighting the war. June Allyson (THE GLENN MILLER STORY, THE STRATTON STORY) stars as Jo, the tomboy bookworm. Margaret O'Brien plays the selfless and tragic Beth. Elizabeth Taylor, in a perfect casting choice, plays the artistic Amy, and beautiful Janet Leigh (TOUCH OF EVIL, PSYCHO) takes on the role of responsible Meg. All of these stars turn in fine performances under the experienced coaching of director Mervyn LeRoy (MADAME CURIE, WATERLOO BRIDGE). Cast: June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh, Peter Lawford, Margaret O´Brien, Mary Astor, Rossano Brazzi, Lucile Watson

Format:DVD
This DVD is an excellent adaptation of the book little women by Louisa May Alcott, with excellent actors/actress' such as Elizabeth Taylor. This is a classic must see film, that will have you laughing and crying at the same time. I have watched this film hundreds of times over many years and it is still the best film I have ever seen - unmissable!

Format:DVD
This is, for me, the best ever adaptation of Louisa May Alcotts 'Little Women' It is perfectly cast, beautifully acted, and just how I had pictured the girls in my imagination. It's a lovely story, of 4 sisters, Meg, Jo Beth and Amy, and their mother and father, and their lives and loves. June Allyson is the perfect Jo, and Peter Lawford a very handsome Laurie. Elizabeth Taylor plays Amy to perfection, and it is just so totally like the book. I absolutely love this version, though I have seen them all. This is by far my all-time favourite. I love the opening where the girls are walking through the snow singing, and I ALWAYS cry over Beth. They just don't make 'em like this any more, sadly. A true gem.

Excellent, brilliant, a really good story well told with the wonderful June Allyson so much better than the later re-make.

An escapist delight from start to finish
This is the best version of the film. June Allyson is the definitive Jo March - it's all in the voice - the break in it that makes her sound as though she's permanently hoarse... Read more
