Review of Little Women (1933) by Matt G — 01 Sep 2017
Katharine Hepburn apparently once said she dared anyone to do a better Jo March than her; well I can say that I haven't seen it as of yet. Hepburn is radiant as the tomboyish Jo and she is supported by a petulant Joan Bennett as Amy, a sympathetic Jean Parker as Beth, and a headstrong Frances Dee as Meg.
Together they make up the four March sisters who await their father's return from the Civil War. We see them go through a string of ups and downs as relationships blossom and crumble and the profound effects that loss and change have on each of them.
Buoyed by wonderful character support from Paul Lukas, Henry Stephenson, Douglass Montgomery, Edna May Oliver, and Spring Byington this is a prime example of a timeless family classic.
