Summary: Little Women June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford
Review: Do you have a DVD on "Little Women" with Elizabeth Taylor, M. O'Brien, June Allyson, Peter Lawford and Janet Leigh?

I have the DVD with Katharine Hepburn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: Eversince I was little, I have loved this movie. Well, this version anyway. The others have no comparison. I also love the music at the start. Liz Taylor is great as spoiled Amy! She makes my laugh so much!!!!
Four (not THREE!!) characters from this movie are in Meet Me In St Louis- Margaret O'Brien, Marmee, Papa, Dr. Barnes. Hannah their maid was in Pal Joey with Ol' Blue Eyes!!


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why isn't this on DVD?
Review: I know this is a womens' movie but as a guy i really like this film alot. I will skip reviewing the actual story because i'm sure by now everyone in the world has seen this version or the others. However I believe this version is the best. Just check out the cast! You'll never get these kind of actors today never mind a whole lot of them in the same film.Things that i liked most about this film besides the acting was the costumes, the set design and most of all the BGM (background music) I'm a BGM freak. There is no such thing as character (bgm) music anymore. Yes they play music but it is usually the latest tune on the radio but isn't really orchestrated music composed for the film itself. In these older films the BGM reflected each character or tha changing of a scene or mood. The music is suttle but strong, domimate by not over powering. Music helps to tell the story of this powerful drama. This is by far one of the best music scores next to "GWTW". I would just like to see this film put on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Version!
Review: I like this version (with June Allyson) much better than the Katherine Hepburn (whom I think really *overacts* in her version, often using a forced deep voice that doesn't work at all) or the Wynona Ryder (whom I think really can't act at all...she's just been fortunate to be in some *really* good films) versions. June Allyson is ideal as Jo. She seems like she really was a tomboy as a girl, but yet has a sensitivity that is perfect for the adult Jo. The supporting cast is wonderful too. Elizabeth Taylor is so funny as Amy!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not bad... but
Review: I love the cast. June Allyson is perfect Jo and Magaret O'brien is simply touching. But unlike the cast, the movie is not that believable. I agree with Maltin. It is too glossy! MGM art team made the March family another Rockefellers! They didn't read the book. I'm sure.

Summary: Boring :(
Review: I loved the book, I loved the Hepburn version, liked the Ryder version, but this...it just bored the tar out of me! It did match the book fairly well, but it dragged on so much that I fought to stay awake through most of it! Rent it first if you must, don't waste your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Version
Review: 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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I loved this movie! A must see! This was my personal favorite of the Little women movies! Maybe someone will make a modern day remake? like the e mail movie was of Shop around the Corner and good old Summertime?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Movie
Review: I loved this movie. The costumes and sets are beautifully done and the characters have such strong personalities and yet so different from each other while keeping that strong sister hood. I also love Pride and Prejudice and Anne of green Gables all movies where you can escape the havoc of today and spend a few hours in a world less complicated!!
