A wonderful classic!!!=), 17 February 1999
Author: virginia Dorado from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Well, I´ve seen this movie and I like it, but not a lot. I prefer 1933´s version. The performances of O´Brien as Beth and June Allison as Jo are simply delightful. And it was a surprise to me to see a very young Elizabeth Taylor. Everything is great in this movie but it is not an adptation of the novel it´s an adaptation of George Cukor´s Little Women. But it´s worth seeing!!!.
