| Handsomely produced costume drama with a plethora of strong female roles, expertly directed by George Cukor. Some of the acting (including Hepburn's) may be over-emphatic and theatrical for modern tastes, but overall this is the most endearing of the various versions. Despite a few sugary moments, the sisters are intensely sympathetic, especially Hepburn's tomboyish Jo; and Edna Mae Oliver contributes a welcome touch of vinegar as nasty Aunt March. Its ability to provoke tears and laughter made it Number five on Film Daily’s annual poll of the US film critics. |
