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.

long-time favourite

This version of Little Women was the third film I ever saw, after Oliver! and Jane Eyre (1943), so that makes it special and remembered with affection. I wouldn't compare it with the 1930s and 1990s version, or the TV serial, because that wouldn't be fair. It's a product of its time, 40s MGM, and it shows. Sentimental, yes. But its almost perfect casting (many of the St Louis family including Astor and O'Brien, plus Allyson, Leigh, Lawford and Taylor) and its good heart keep it a constant favourite. I finally got a video copy last year and made my acquaintance with this peach of a film again. Highly recommended and a good tribute to all involved.
