''Little Women'' is a 1933 film directed by Creator/GeorgeCukor.
It is one of many, [[AdaptationOverdosed many]] adaptations of Creator/LouisaMayAlcott's SchoolStudyMedia novel, ''Literature/LittleWomen''. The time setting is UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar and after. The story centers on the March family of Concord, Massachusetts. As the film opens, man of the house Mr. March is off fighting in the war, leaving his wife "Marmee" March to look after their four daughters. Their daughters are:
* Meg, the oldest, very responsible and a sort of backup mother to the others.
* Jo (Creator/KatharineHepburn), headstrong, tomboyish, a would-be writer.
* Beth, the nicest, gentlest sister, beloved by all the others even as they snipe at each other.
* Amy (Creator/JoanBennett), the youngest, and quite the opposite of Jo, as she is very feminine and something of a spoiled brat.
The family tries to make ends meet while worrying about Mr. March off in the war. Their neighbor Mr. Laurence welcomes home his grandson Laurie, who soon falls for Jo. Jo finds herself having to resolve her feelings for Laurie and how they conflict with her hope for a career. Meanwhile, Beth falls ill.
Music/MaxSteiner composed the music.

!!Tropes:
* AsYouKnow: In the opening scene Marmee tells a friend that "I have my four girls to comfort me," establishing for the audience that she has four daughters.
* BadBadActing: The sisters act out Jo's play. Jo is overwhelmingly hammy while Amy varies between LargeHam and DullSurprise.
* BanisterSlide: Jo slides down Aunt March's banister after Aunt March ordered her to dust and polish it. It's an EstablishingCharacterMoment showing Jo as active and free-spirited.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment
** Jo's BanisterSlide at her aunt's house and her "Christopher Columbus!" oath establishes her as energetic and tomboyish.
** Amy gets in trouble for goofing off in class, then insults all of the other girls at their school. She is established as a snob.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: Just one of several.
* IllGirl: Beth never fully recovers after a bout with scarlet fever.
* MaidenAunt: Aunt March (Edna May Oliver), fussy maiden aunt to the March sisters. She bosses Jo around but can be generous, like when she gives each of them $1 (not too bad for the 1860s) for Christmas.
* MustacheTwirlingVillain: Jo mimes twirling a mustache as she acts out the part of the villain in her play.
* RightBehindMe: When Jo is looking at the picture of Laurie's grandfather, she tells Laurie that she likes his grandfather, even though he looks stern and ready to bark at them. Of course, Laurie's grandfather is right behind Jo when she says this, and chooses that moment to make his presence known.
* TitleDrop: Marmee reads a letter from her husband which ends with him saying that he's "prouder than ever of my little women."
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Jo slides down banisters and says "Christopher Columbus!" and wants to be a professional writer. Amy, her sister, is proper and feminine and buys perfume and criticizes her tomboy sister by saying "I detest rude and unladylike girls!"
