always loved the book when I was young, had the film on video, but wanted dvd version. Thoroughly enjoyed old and new versions....a real weepy classic.
The film is slightly different from the book, but it is a lovely film. We bought it for my daughter who was perfoming a scene from Little Women in a drama competition, so we thought the film might give her some good pointers on the character she was playing.
I'd seen Little Women when it was first released and bought it on video. Now that format has become nearly obselete, I bought the DVD.
What a lovely, heartwarming, curl-up-on-the-sofa film. The actors are superb (especially Gabriel Byrne, but I'm biased!) and when you finish enveloping yourself in the wonderful world where the March family reside you are left with a desire to find an opportune moment to watch it all again!
Allow yourself to wear your rose-coloured glasses once more! :)
