Have not seen this film in years and it was great to view it again and see how young all the actors were in the Year 1949. The famous Director, Mervyn LeRoy made this a very enjoyable film which had a great deal of realism and showed how these young women grew from children to adults and moved on into the real world and faced some of its tragic events in their lives.
June Allyson, (Jo) played the tom boy in the family and wanted to become a writer and went off to New York City. Margaret O'Brien,(Beth) was a rather frail child and very timid and bashful and loved to play the piano. Elizabeth Taylor, (Amy) was a bit of snob and liked to have plenty of money and a big home to live in. Janet Leigh, (Meg) was a home body and wanted to find a man she could fall in love with and have children. Peter Lawford, (Laurie) was a rich young man and was very interest since a boy in Jo and waited patiently for the time to ask her to marry him. Charming film to show around Christmas time and a rather tear-jerker at times, use the tissue box during this film. Margaret O'Brien gave an outstanding supporting role.
