It is the old Little women, with a very young Elizabeth Taylor as Amy.
I always hated the Jo in that movie. When I read the book as a child I felt that Jo would have to be like me. But it wasn´t.
The several movies they have done are not as good as the book. When I read again Little woman as an adult, I could see the way Americans lived in New England then.
Have you read Little Women? Have you seen any of the films they have made? Which one did you prefer?

@marguicha I think the book is always better than the movie.

It was the first book I read as a young lady.
I identified with Jo.
I have seen some of the films.

I identified with Jo too. That was why the worst character in those movies was Jo.

@marguicha I wasn’t until I had to do a book report in 4th grade then after that I couldn’t stop reading. I read anything I could get my hands on.

I read almost all Alcott´s books when I was a child. I was a bookworm.

I actually remember this from High school The girls did not like the movie at all. Best class ever screen play literately can get a good grade just for watching movies. We never watched that one but was brought up in conversation of another movie.
Now that movie I do not remember, maybe Mrs. Doubtfire. Had to be something like that. They did say the books are really good. I do not know how to read or write. So why am the few that actually got a B in the class and not a A and sure jumped my GPA.
See, best class ever.

I was a bookworm at school. In fact, at one time I read a lot of books we were supposed to read (not all of them each of us) and summarized each book at recess for the rest of the class. I felt quite the heroine then

@marguicha Nice, school is so important we take it for granted. I used to get called like class expert and you know my punk rock tendencies took over. No excuses but I literally stopped being being smart because was putting a target on my back. It worked well people like oh you dumb I will leave you alone. Probably not the best way to handle life. Just punch those fools in the face metaphorically speaking of course.

That's nice. I prefer the one with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon on it.

I didn't read this novel. I watched Little Women as cartoon series when I was a child. When I grow up, I watched two versions of its movie and I prefer to the old version. It is like Anne's Diary, the black and white movie is very touching and far better than today's version.

I´d love to read that book. But I have read biographies of L.M. Alcott.

What a coincidence! I was listening to a Christian program this morning and they were narrating the story of L.Alcott the author of " little Women". I had read the book many years ago and watched a couple versions of the movie. I did not know that Alcott was an army nurse.
