Behind the Scenes of MGM's 1949 Adaptation of Little Women
The 1949 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel 'Little Women' was a grand Technicolor production by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), directed and produced by Mervyn LeRoy as part of MGM’s 25th-anniversary celebration. Starring June Allyson as Jo, Elizabeth Taylor as Amy, Margaret O'Brien as Beth, and Janet Leigh as Meg, the film follows the March sisters navigating the challenges of poverty, personal ambition, and family tragedy while their father serves in the Civil War. The film also features Peter Lawford as Laurie and Rossano Brazzi as Professor Bhaer. Known for its lush, highly stylized visual aesthetic reminiscent of pastel postcards, the film emphasizes romantic storylines, including Jo’s eventual marriage to Professor Bhaer. Financially, it was a major success, earning $3,425,000 in the US and Canada and $2,495,000 overseas, resulting in a profit of $812,000. Technically, it earned an Academy Award for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration (Color) and a nomination for Best Cinematography (Color). While many praised the film’s charm and beauty, some critics considered it overly sentimental compared to the grittier 1933 version with Katharine Hepburn. Notably, some images associated with this article are from the 1933 version, highlighting occasional inaccuracies on the website presenting the gallery.
