The Technicolor film, while still praised, was not received as well as Cukor’s version.
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.
This version is a well-handled retelling of the classic Louisa May Alcott tale.
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]
If anything, it has hauled back much too briskly on the strings of the heart and has strained a few muscles in the process.
