    • Trivia
      All of the sisters (June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and Janet Leigh) reportedly got along terrifically, like a real sorority. Allyson, who was several years older than most of her co-stars, managed to relate to the younger women and form strong bonds with them.
    • Goofs
      Marmee is checking on the girls to make sure they are asleep. She picks up the "oil" lamp at the top of the stairs and the electric cord is visible running along her sleeve for a moment.
    • Quotes

      Amy: How was I dressed when we had all that money?

      Jo March: In diapers.

    Well, I like it :C)
    I thought this was a beautiful movie, and very entertaining. My only real complaint is Elizabeth Taylor as Amy, (Amy is supposed to be the YOUNGEST??)I liked June Allyson as Jo, and I really liked Margaret O'Brien as Beth. I've seen the three versions of the book, and even though the one with Winona Ryder is my favorite, I really enjoyed this movie. There was one aspect that I noticed about this film. The sets are the exact same as the one with Katharine Hepburn!!!!!
