Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
Star-graced Cukor production is classic.
Kansas City Kansan
One of the year's tenderest and most charming films. With Katharine Hepburn as Jo March. A family picture.

Maclean's Magazine
Louisa M. Alcott done to a turn, with rare understanding, taste and sympathy by George Cukor, the director, and a cast headed by that Controversy of the Age: Miss Katharine Hepburn.

Vanity Fair
Cukor mines a rich vein of sentiment, never over-stepping the mark into slush, but it is Hepburn's Jo, making a subversive choice of what she wants her life to be, who ensures that the cosiness isn't everything.

Time Out
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Released during the depths of the Depression, Little Women buoyed Americans' spirits. It still does.

TV Guide
Rating: A --
Part comedy of manners, part morality tale, Little Women is more interested in its heroines "conquering themselves" than in a man conquering their hearts.

Product Description:
The first motion picture based on Louisa May Alcott's gently humorous 1869 classic of four sisters who learn moral lessons and grow from children to adults in Civil War-era Massachusetts, this film chronicles the lives of the teenage March sisters
Jo (Katharine Hepburn), Meg (Frances Dee), Amy (Joan Bennett), and Beth (Jean Parker), who, in the company of their mother, try to maintain positive attitudes in the face of hardship. Hepburn infuses her role with a raw, awkward energy, revealing a vividness and buoyancy beneath her Victorian reserve. The movie, like the novel, is unapologetically sentimental, playing skillfully at the heart strings; based on an Oscar-winning adaptation by Victor Heerman and Sarah Mason and able direction by George Cukor, it is careful to avoid clichés, developing into an authentically moving story.
