One "prize" is a "special clip" - which is just a very short bit of the movie and didn't seem too special too me - and the other "reward" simply lists the names of some of Alcott's books.
The score appeared warm and lush, and effects were clear and realistic.

One "prize" is a "special clip" - which is just a very short bit of the movie and didn't seem too special too me - and the other "reward" simply lists the names of some of Alcott's books.
If you decide to discard my opinion of the film because you know you already like it, you'll be more than delighted with the DVD of Little Women .

Meticulously crafted, and warmly acted by a cast that includes Winona Ryder as Jo and Susan Sarandon as her mother, the devoted Marmee, ``Little Women'' is one of the rare Hollywood studio films that invites your attention, slowly and elegantly, rather than propelling your interest with effects and easy manipulation.

the Cukor film has always seemed to be about as good a movie as a literary adaptation could become.....there are wonderful moments for all the sisters....What's more, Winona Ryder makes the character of Jo her own with a solid performance that takes her from girlhood to womanhood.....but any audience will be more than satisfied with this cinematic gem..... ...

Of the latter three - and all are worthwhile - the Cukor film has always seemed to be about as good a movie as a literary adaptation could become.
The episodic storyline has the family pulling together through thick and thin, with comedy and tragedy nicely balanced, along with superlative production values that successfully transport the audience back in time to the period.
