	LITTLE WOMEN (1933) - DVD
		Indeed, when one contemplates Gillian Armstrong's 1994 version of Little Women, the question arises as to whether Alcott's novel can ever be twisted to resemble something other than a twee fantasy of frictionless sorority and romantic deaths as scant diversion from the carnage of the Civil War.
		Little Women tells the story of how these young women--girls, really--perform self-written plays for their neighbours, have interminable discussions about their hopes and dreams, and dash around in bucolic cityscapes to the bemusement of the citizenry.
		Little Women is filmed in a wide, stately fashion that would become a hallmark of Cukor's studied career.

	Little Women (review) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		LITTLE WOMEN is quite possibly the one book written post-Shakespeare that has the most number of film adaptations to its credit.
		I hate to make a snap judgement, having not seen any more versions of Little Women than the 1994 one, but I believe that this version, made by RKO studios and starring a delightful Katharine Hepburn as Jo March, has every right to be considered the definitive film version of the Alcott novel.
		It is perhaps for LITTLE WOMEN as much as for MORNING GLORY (released in the same year) that Hepburn won her first Oscar in 1933.

	MMI Review: Little Women (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The title alone suggests demureness and docility, two characteristics which were absolutely antithetical to its author, Louisa May Alcott, a strong woman of the nineteenth century who was determined to make her living, not as a servant or as a seamstress, but as a writer.
		It has been reported that the author found "Little Women" a bore to write and that the values in the book belong to her educator father and not to herself, but she did achieve her dream of making her living as a writer.
		In the latest version of "Little Women", dedicated to the memory of Polly Klaas, Winona Ryder makes a delightful Jo March for 90's audiences & she is well supported by Gabriel Byrne in one of his best performances as Professor Bhaer.

		Little Women: (Thomas Newman) 1994 was something of a breakout year for Thomas Newman.
		Little Women might be dismissed today as typical Newman, but it remains one of his best scores, one that is quite possibly overshadowed by the fact that he wrote The Shawshank Redemption the same year.

		Sarandon has little to do as Marmee other than be the stoic center of the family, and she's believable as a pillar.
		In fact, with the exception of the stiff Mathis, all of the actors perform reasonably well in their parts, and the men in the cast adeptly portray the walking mannequins that are their characters.
		Little Women appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Perhaps a little too liberal at times with this adaptation, I enjoyed the added idea that the Marches were stonily set in their ways dealing with women’s rights and the fl movement.
		Marmee believes women have the right to pursue their dreams, no matter what the dream may be.
		Falling into the mothering role, firm but loving, of this group of little women, she molds them into what they want to be, not what is expected of them.

		Using the term feminist in this day and age is surely grounds for some kind of punishment, but Little Women is certainly a feminist text in the best sense of the word: Women are depicted as individuals, striving to make lives for themselves that best express their talents and desires.
		With some trepidation, I went to see this most recent remake of Little Women; however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Alcott's themes of familial love and individuality play quite well in the 1990s.
		Jo's unique spirit and talent come through more effectively in the latter part of Little Women, and Ryder's rapport with Gabriel Byrne, who plays Professor Bhaer, effectively transcends the actors' age difference (which isn't as potentially problematic in print as it is on film).

		I saw this version on "Little Women" shortly after reading the book, and was pleased with how well it followed the book.
		True, the screenplay did invoke a little modern feminism, but there was a feminist movement during the 1860's; it was called the suffragette movement.
		Little Women captures everything Louisa May Alcott intended in her well loved novel.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: Little Women (1994)
		LITTLE WOMEN is strengthened greatly by a strong cast of good young actors that are very strong and memorable in their respective roles.
		Winona Ryder is the main star among many as Jo March, one of four sisters growing up during the mid-19th Century during the Civil War, all hopeful for the safe return of their father who is fighting in the Civil War.
		LITTLE WOMEN is recommended for those who love the book, the cast, period pieces, and especially for women.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Little Women (1933)
		Sure, Winona Ryder was 23 when she starred as the "little" Jo March, but Katherine Hepburn was 26, and Kate has always looked old for her age.
		While Little Women has always been a story about young ladies pulling themselves up without a father in their lives, this adaptation minimizes their liberation considerably.
		The third of nine adaptations of the film to date, the 1933 Little Women is nonetheless one of the better versions of the book, and it can be forgiven a lot due to its age and era.

	Review: Little Women (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This tale of four independent sisters of differing temperaments is undeniably melodramatic, but it's very good melodrama, with an accumulation of vitality and charm that elevates the movie to an unexpectedly high level.
		With rich, colorful cinematography (the Autumn scenes are especially vibrant) and a fine score by Thomas Newman, Little Women is technically accomplished.
		Nevertheless, the tale is engrossing enough, and the film put together with such obvious affection, that it's not hard to dismiss those things as necessary elements of a beloved period piece.

		Douglass Montgomery's Laurie isn't nearly as dreamy as Christian Bale's (1994), but the lack of chemistry between him and Hepburn's Jo is perfect for the story, in which Jo loves him like a brother.
		This Little Women was a huge box-office hit, and broke all the records to that time.
		Katherine Hepburn brings the Little Women heroine Jo March alive in a portrayal that truly does justice to the Jo that Louisa May Alcott wrote.

		Review: Beloved story of the March women is beautifully portrayed in a solid production that blends a seamless screenplay with an excellent cast, authentic period costumes, and lovely cinematography and music.
		Ryder, perfectly cast as the unconventional Jo, is also the strongest of the sisters: domestically inclined Meg (Alvarado), the fragile Beth (Danes), and the youngest, mischevious Amy (the delightful Dunst) who grows up into a sedate young lady (Mathis).
