Movie Reviews of Little Women
Movie Review: Lumpy's tv
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with most of the reviews herein that site this film version as THE BEST- watchable over and over again from beginning to end. This is the version I grew up with, it is one of the first VHS tapes I purchased and it is worth re-buying as a DVD if only for the glorious sets and color cimematography. Look at the scene where June Allyson is writing her book MY BETH- every tree leaf appears to be hand picked and set in place. The scene that brings it home as a drama: Mary Astor's explanation to June Allyson of a mother's plans for her daughters. The always trumpeted Katharine Hepburn version is interesting only if you want to see the "other works" of cast and crew.The recent and very earnest version with Winona Ryder, et al is simply unwatchable.Movie Review: Eve's wonderful viewimg
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Women has always been a favourite of mine, a very homely, family loving story of yesteryear. The colour is delightful in this movie. June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh and Margaret O'Brien are sisters, their mother is Mary Astor. June Allyson is the tomboy of the group who wants to be a writer and Peter Lawford pursues her and wants to marry her, but she has other ideas and moves on to the big city where she meets Rossano Brazzi who helps her to pursue her career as a writer. Family issues arise amongst all of this. There,s laughter, fun and sadness, but in the end it all comes together as family forever. If you wish to see a wholesome, delightful film for the whole family this is a pure delight.Movie Review: Little Women at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen both the 1994 Winona Ryder and this 1949 version of "Little Women". I have not read the book so I can't vouch for its accuracy. The acting in both versions are excellent and so were the movie. However what makes the 1949 version better is its presentation. Mind you, this is 1949 and the sets and color, Technicolor, are outstanding. Watching the movie is like going back into the Currier and Ives world. Movies were supposed to be an escape for about 2 hours and this movie delivered. Curl up into your easy chair, especially on a cold winter evening with the fireplace burning. They don't make movies like this anymore. Your won't be dissapointed.Movie Review: Great for everyone but especially families
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Women is a awesome movie because it depicts a mother and 4 girls working hard to keep up their home and spirits while father is away at war. In this movie you have the tom boy, the prim and propper, the younger innocent, and the oldest who is waiting for love to come along. They are somewhat poor physicaly but in heart they are very rich. Things start to change as the oldest falls in love and the tom boy isn't ready for things to change but eventually comes around and falls in love too. This is fun and dramatic. It is filled with love, new life, and tragedy. I don't want to give it away you'll just have to go get it yourself you won't be dissapointed.Movie Review: The Best Version
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the Little Women and after seeing this version I fell even more in love with the book. Although June Allyson wasn't the best Jo I have ever seen she is pretty close the depiction of Beth was magnificent and the version of Meg was beautiful but the star was Elizabeth Taylor's adaption of Amy although she was a little old looking for the roll but you have to admit that no one plays a brat like Elizabeth Taylor it was absoulutley perfect. This movie is a wonderful adaptation of a wonderful book that speaks to men and women of all ages because of it's timeless beauty. I hope that you enjoy this movie as much as I did!
