Little Women
-- Charming remake of the Alcott classic of adolescents -- studious Jo (June Allyson), practical Meg (Janet Leigh), flighty Amy (Elizabeth Taylor) and sickly little Beth (Margaret O'Brien) -- being raised by their mother (Mary Astor) during the Civil War. Director Mervyn LeRoy's version is nicely cast, makes good use of color in filming the lush period costumes and settings and tempers the sentimental nature of the narrative with some lively action. Fine family entertainment. (A-I) (br)
