There is also a stirring score from Max Steiner, making it sound appropriately nostalgic, the script is faithful and warm-toned, it is directed with great taste by George Cukor and the story has all the warmth and poignancy of the book, which is one of my favourites of all time. However, it still looks beautiful, the costumes and hairstyles are well suited to the period, the sets are sumptuous and the film is very handsomely shot. The sound here is a little too tinny, and the Laurie of Douglass Montgommery is too fey for my tastes. I will always have a soft spot for this film, and to me it is the best version of the three versions I've seen so far of Little Women(19 were the others, and I liked both of them very much).
