Movie Reviews of Little Women (1933)
Movie Review: Wonderful Old Film Adaptation Of The Wonderful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love books and I love movies that are adapted from books so last week I watched the 1933 black and white version of Little Women for the first time and it is a very good movie though they left out some very good parts from the book but I still enjoyed watching this and I think Katharine Hepburn was a wonderful Jo but the rest of the cast was good too, especially Joan Bennett as Amy and Spring Byington as Marmee and I also liked Paul Lukas as Professor Bhaer and think he was alot like the character was described in the book and being a fan of black and white movies I very highly recommend this movie and this DVD and I think any fan of Louisa May Alcott's wonderful book should enjoy this delightful movie! Update: April 17, 2005, I have read complaints that the actors in this movie are too old to be playing young Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and Laurie but it's such a good movie and if you get past the age thing you will see that the acting is very good and you forget about the ages of the actors. I have also just recently watched the 1949 movie and I have seen written the same age complaints made about some of the actors from the 1949 and 1994 versions too and to me the ages of the actors is a minor thing and it's not as though they were too extremely old to play the characters. I liked the 1994 version but in my opinion this 1933 version and the 1949 version are a lot better, a lot more charming and are more faithful to the book!Movie Review: Little Women (1933) - still young and beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Women (1933), directed by George Cukor story of March family, four beautiful loving sisters and their Marmee, is an early adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved 1860s classic and certainly one of the best. This is the movie that I believe should be universally loved and praised because it is a cinematic triumph. Everything is perfect in it. The clothes, the hairdos, the sets, cinematography, the musical score by Max Steiner and the brilliant script that brings to life the timeless story -together they take you effortlessly to the Marches' world where you feel their true love and caring for one another, and follow their dreams, theirs hopes, and their heartbreaks. This is the film that made me jealous of the girls who have sisters by showing what treasure the sisters' love is. This is the movie which I want to watch with my Mom during the Mother's day and to tell her how much she means to me. This is the movie with very young, very talented, strong willed, independent, and excellent Katharine Hepburn, perfect as Jo March, the character that Alcott could've written with her in mind. Yes, the film is sentimental, so what? Made 75 years ago, it is young, beautiful, heartwarming, and radiates love, kindness, and goodness.Movie Review: a beautiful early film with Katharine Hepburn and a stellar cast.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually saw this 1933 version of LITTLE WOMEN after I had watched the 1994 adaptation, directed by Gillian Armstrong and starring Winonah Ryder (among other fine actresses). This, the first of many attempts to bring Louisa May Alcott's book to the screen, is nothing short of lovely. Directed by George Cukor, and starring Katharine Hepburn, as Jo, with Frances Dee (Meg), Jean Parker (Beth) and Joan Bennett (Amy), this film is engaging and well captures the beauty of the story. Based on Alcott's formative years, spent in Germantown, Pennsylvania, we see the strong bond amongst the four March sisters and their mother, Marmee March (Spring Byington), as they await the return of their father from his time spent as chaplain in the Union Army.
Though, some have criticized this version, I love and appreciate it for its beauty, sensitivity and warmth. This was just the beginning of a brilliant career, for (then) twenty-five year old Katharine Hepburn. Don't miss out on this one!
Movie Review: Huyen
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a wonderful movie. It was well played out. I thought it followed the book really well too. It did not leave much out which made me very happy. Jo makes this movie comes alive with her wild personality. Laury and his funny attitudes also made this movie lovable. Out of all the characters in this movie. Jo and Laury were my two favorites. I love the book and the movie too. The book was BETTER.
Laury and his boyish looks, Jo and her tomboyish personality, Meg and kind works and personality, Beth and her quiet ways and Amy and her spoiled ways, all thess characters made this movie come alive with fun, laughter, warmth, kindness. It was a great movie to watch on a cold winter or snowy day. Makes you want to be a part of the kind and happy family.
