The story of the March sisters- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy- and how they grow up through the hard times of the Civil War. The story follows them for quite a few years, through the good and bad, weddings and funerals, many friends, and many adventures. It's based on the book by Louisa May Alcott, and it's one the most beautiful films EVER. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, you'll love it. And the music is SO wonderful! An all-star cast too!
It's not strictly Christmas, but it begins at Christmas time, and has that lovely Christmas feeling throughout. I have always thought of it as a Christmas/winter movie.
I just watched the old version where Elizabeth Taylor plays Amy... haven't seen it in years and it is so very funny!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it at all, actually! Maybe I should! This one wins though- it's the best. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, it's definitely the best! Have you ever seen the one with Katherine Hepburn as Jo?
