Little Women starring Katharine Hepburn as Jo

Little Women imdb listing

Les Précieuses Ridicules by Charles Moliere 1695 of course, this book only has a few similarities to Little Women. It is a one-act play that is delightful to read as well as to watch, in my opinion. Now, you understand why the French-language version of Little Women is called Quatre filles du docteur March.

Of course this book has been written in 50 languages, Little Women, indeed. In Spanish, the translation of this Louisa May Alcott book is called Mujercitas, and the film based upon this novel is also of the same title.

Not much of a start, Little Women, where Katharine Hepburn played Jo. Kathryn knows all about it already. I am certain she's acted in it, she's podcasted about it, she and all her friends have already done it - know all about it. It's based on a famous novel by Louisa May Alcott.

Such that Katharine Hepburn's apartment in the prestigious Turtle Bay would be adorned by this

nearby garden, which now contains vintage memorabilia and furniture of America's premier entertainer.


A beautiful elegant repose, designed much like King Solomon's Garden dedicated to Katharine Hepburn.

See the Bible, The Bible itself was actually mentioned in Little Women.

The script that I located for free lacked enough action for my tastes, thus, I looked for the 1922 edition of Little Women, which is a fascinating, albeit, not a quick read at almost 400 pages.

While you are waiting, if you are bored, here is something with only one billion fans around the globe. Classic movie trailer, not easy to locate in the US. Here's the Mexican version of this Chinese classic.

The gmail site is now becoming more difficult to log into, thus, I must quicken this production.

The many hands, er, movie stars are waiting and must have demand satiated. \

The treatment update for Little Women is going to be fast and cheap alright - not good. Sorry. 

This was an award-winning video, this Little Women 1933 film was, indeed.


Excuse me for making light of the Great Depression with the following dialog


Once Upon a Time at RKO Studios


We're going to miss the studio. How are we going to pay the rent?

It is the Great Depression. We need to do something low-budget.

How about Little Women. It's a great book by Louisa May Alcott.

No, we don't want to do a family film with Katharine Hepburn.

Why should we use America's hottest actress in a film that will sell tickets?

You are so right. We need a loss-leader, We need to lose money.

KATHARINE HEPBURN WALKS IN

Look boys, this is my latest script disaster. Sorry.

You're late! We needed you here yesterday.

My, Katharine, you look stunning today in that smashing outfit.

Where did she get the money for actual garments?

She didn't get those from "Sallie" - the Salvation Army.

What is she doing, writing the script for us already?

Oh, darling - take me home and outfit my wife and children, please.

Our angel, Katharine has shown up with the script. Our village has been saved.

Little Women was set in a rural area, the atmosphere was small town, quaint, farmland.

If a family had a book, it was a Bible. A lot of families did not own an entire Bible. The Bible was at times, published, book by book, much like a set of encyclopedias would be purchased up until recently.
