Little Women

Little Women

George Cukor directed this 1933 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel with a shimmering lavishness that is a prime example of the classic Hollywood style at its best. Set in Concord, Massachusetts during the Civil War, the film tells the story of the four March sisters: Jo (Katharine Hepburn), Amy (Joan Bennett), Meg (Frances Dee), and Beth (Jean Parker). The film was budgeted at $1 million, and 3,000 items, including costumes, furnishings, and household appliances, were authenticated by research. The interior of the March home was modeled after Louisa May Alcott's Massachusetts house. The film won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. (117 min.)
