Critic Reviews

Sonia Rao

The Technicolor film, while still praised, was not received as well as Cukor’s version. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The tender story, with its frank and unashamed assault on the emotions, still has its effective moments at times when the sentiment doesn’t grow a little too thick. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

This version is a well-handled retelling of the classic Louisa May Alcott tale. Read full review

Mark Chalon Smith

This one, directed by Mervyn LeRoy for MGM, can get more than a little sappy as we watch this house of pretty adolescents take pretty steps toward their destinies, but it's also affectionately rendered. [15 Dec 1994, p.20]
