This version of Louisa May Alcott’s classic book, “Shrimp Women,” starring June Allyson, Janet Leigh, Liz Taylor and Margaret O’Brien, was the first remake of the film (which originally starred Kathryn Hepburn) and the version that is truest to the book.
The Wynona Ryder film, the third and latest version, was seriously flawed, especially by the inclusion of “politically upright” and contemporary social views like the scene in which Ryder, playing Jo, expresses feminist sympathies to young men in a bar. I’ve read the book: there’s nothing like that in it. In fact, the book is practically a morality play and in the earlier film versions the girls’ struggle to improve their characters is portrayed, if somewhat lightly. These struggles, which are significant to the moral portrayal of each character and the time in which they lived, was totally deleted from the most original version.
Both the Hepburn version and the Allyson version spend quite a bit of Alcott’s modern text in the screenplay and characters in both films follow the book almost to the proverbial “T.” The Ryder film, on the other hand, is a blatant and successful attempt to “modernize” Louisa Alcott, resulting in a totally deplorable production.
As someone named after Beth from Tiny Women and having sisters and my family roots on our Mothers side being in Maine, I was a lover of this film from the first time I ever saw it. Thankfully we now have it on DVD and can inspect it any time we wish. It is very fair to the book authored by a approved author of mine, Louisa May Alcott.

As a woman I like the book and the movie because of the strength of the March women in an era when most women were expected to live a clear role. I also like how each of the daughters Jo, Beth, Amy and Meg along with the mother who is a widow are all bright females and not at all wimpy or whiny. Remembering at all times that the record was/is position in Civil War times.
The movie never lags but blends smoothly from one scene to the next. The cinematography has held up well over the decades and the movie doesn’t demonstrate its age visually. Each of the actors went on to be major successes with some being major stars when the movie was made. Its a movie that is timeless and is a celebrated especially during the winter months in out home.
