This is how they should have cast the 1978 version
Lynne Frederick as Jo
Judy Matheson as Meg
Rosalyn Landor as Beth
Julie Dawn Cole as Amy
Anne Bancroft as Marmee
John Moulder Brown as Laurie
Olivia De Havilland as Aunt March
WDYT?
klassicalmuzik agree!
Love Lynne Frederick 😍 she has the most beautiful eyes
Aaliyah yes! Can you see her playing Jo in the 1978 adaptation?
To think that $25 in 1868 is now worth over $400 today. Jo must’ve had some high quality hair.
Ice Kokoro to think that hair had some value. Nowadays, hair is donated.
Ashley Faminial it’s still valuable but for different reasons. And you can actually still sale your hair
I sold my hair for 800 dollars, but it was crazy long lol
Ice Kokoro actually no. In the book, Jo said that when she walked into the shop to sell her hair, the barber said he didn't care about mine, it wasn't the fashionable color, and he never paid much for it in the first place. The only reason why he even did take it was because after Jo told the barber what she needed the money for, his wife (who was eavesdropping) stepped in and told the barber to think about their son who was also in the war. The barbers wife then convinced him to buy Jo’s hair, but for the low price of 25 dollars. Back then other people might have gotten 50 dollars if they had the right color hair or whatever.
klassicalmuzik oof that’s nearly $1K nowadays.
"Jo, your hair will grow back, and it will be as lovely as ever. But you will never be more beautiful than you are now." ❤❤❤
It always makes me cry. The best version imho
Best version!
i'm sorry but amy in the 1994 saying "jo, how could you? your one beauty" in reference to her cutting her hair is so funny omfg
That's bcuz she's not unattractive.
@@ROBYNMARKOW whatch yo profanity!
He should have said CC twice.
And the 2019 version is so funny too. 🤣
I think that IS in the book, so it's pretty accurate.
“I feel deliciously light and cool” 😂 1949 easily one of the best.
What's great about each film is that they are a perfect reflection of the time period in which the films are made. Each generation deserves this story and I love how every filmmaker has told it a bit differently. Greta's version will reflect a different style and vision that is unique to 2019. And I love that they are continuing with what the 1994 version started: a woman writes, directs, and produces.
You are so right. Let each generation make it their own with their own version. That way everyone can feel that the story is theirs in some small way. It will always be cherished.
Natalie Rizzo True
I agree but ... I’m so sorry, I really don’t like the 2019 version... I hope new generation could read the novel...
@@gildaelia2622 what dont you like about the 2019 version?
Buttercup Coffee Hi ☕️
Personally, from the 2019 version I appreciate d the photography and the warm colour of the images.
The interpretation of Marley Streep must be underlined, she is always best! For the rest, the cast has been not well chosen and the interpretation is not great as in 1994 version. Dialogues ( in Italian ) are aggressive and they don’t reflect the historical period.
The flashback is a good idea, but I don’t like the way Gewen organized it: all the psychological and emotional relationships ( Jo-Beth, Marmee-daughters,Lory-jo...) are not curated as in the novel and in all the other versions.
I’m so angry, because the new generations must always have a reduction of concepts to understanding something or learning something else. The must read, the should love read and complexity of feelings! 🥰
Sorry for my English, it is not my mother tongue 😛
I love how all of these scenes are incredibly dramatic, but in greta gerwig's version is so comic and light, just how jo sees the situation
But Jo was actually very upset cause herself thought hair was her only beauty
@@ipanemagirl8375 hence why the following scene in the Gerwig adaptation is Jo crying over her lost hair, proving that she was just putting on a brave face not to worry her family
The 1994 version does that too.
The 1933 version is my favorite. I love Katherine Hepburn as Jo; so perfect! My second favorite is the 1994 version with Wynona Ryder as Jo and Susan Sarandon as Marmee. It was very well produced and seemed most authentic to the book. I just love the story...timeless!
Charlotte Spears agreed. Best renditions the others were a bit cringe
My favorite is still the 1949 version. Always will be i think.
It is the best and closest to the real story
Why old little women looks much richer than recent
1949 jo is the best portrayal imo. It’s like the jo from the book jumped out into real life the most stubborn obstinate strong rash woman but deep down has a heart of gold. Jo is supposed to be robust and explosive I feel the other versions of her were too tame.
They did the actress dirty with the first two hair cuts
Really?I thought Katherine Hepburn looked rather pretty with that haircut,but I agree that they messed up June Allyson’s hair. Like Laurie said,she looked like a porcupine.
The barber couldn’t do a better job than that?
Since they were selling their hair & not paying for the haircut, it makes sense why it's butchered.
At least it wasn't like Fantine in Les Mis lol
Was thinking that too. A straight line at least.
I agree they could have styled it a little nicer. Made it into a Bob style.
I just love seeing how more natural the makeup on the actresses get w/each movie..
The 1949 version is my ALL TIME FAVORITE 😉
The new version is really better
1994 is my favorite but this one was so wonderful. Glad to see it getting some love 🤩
We're on the same page. 💕June allyson is delightful to watch.
1949, 1994, 2019 are all really amazingly performed and directed
"Christopher Columbus." Lol
Thank you for including the 1978 TV miniseries with Susan Dey as Jo. It shows an Amy who expresses her admiration to Jo for cutting her hair--a sign that she is maturing.
Another interesting moment is when Meg stands up to Aunt March for choosing John. Aunt March disinherits her but later tells Meg she is back in her will on the day of her wedding. In the book Aunt March does not change her mind although she secretly arranges a generous wedding gift for Meg and John.
That wasn't the line. The line in the book was "If wearing my hair up makes me one (a young lady that is) I'll wear it in two tails till I'm TWENTY. Not 100." And honestly, I liked the scene in the 1993 version better when she reveals she cut her hair. There isn't a lot of fuss and explanation. She just says she sold her hair and there is just a look shared between Jo and Marmee and a hug. That's enough. Its a beautiful, heartfelt moment between the two characters.
I agree. And i always lol when Amy says "your 1 true beauty!" Such a sister thing 2 say
i love the 1949 one best 😢😢
June allyson made the best jo
@@sameenfatima143 trueee! I love winona Ryder, but she doesn't have the spark that June Allyson had
@@joselocalau123 Yas!
Agreed!!
You're not alone. 💕
Nothing to add except Elizabeth Taylor looks so pretty in the 1949 clip!
Note that Hepburn (a real grand-daughter of that class) pronounces "Marmee" correctly - as "Maahmee," the way Alcott and all her crew would. None of the others do: it's those Round AmeRican Rs for everyone else.
Is "MARMEE" a regionalism?
Sorry, I'm not American
I've never even seen a glimpse of the Susan Dey LW before, so I was suprised to actually find their version of this scene the best one. It was the most natural, best written, and most touching. I adore the Winona Ryder version, but they seemed to shorten the scene a great deal.
For some reason my favorite version of Little Women is the 1994 version with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon.
Same here :) My favorite Little Women cast. Everyone was perfect!
Yes there's a genuine feel to that version. Having Jo narrate the story throughout the film in such a sincere and gentle tone, is also a great quality and allows us to experience her internal thoughts and emotions. I think that really makes us connect with her better as Jo is the rough/tough sister and may not display those feelings overtly.
The 1949 is my favorite! Love June as Jo!
I kind of want to have Little Women marathon for Christmas, playing all four(?) of them.
my only version is 1994😍 wynona really fits as Jo. and others too.
I think we can all agree 1978's rendition was trash compared to the others.
While the 1978 miniseries doesn't have the elegance and detail of the films, it is still quite watchable. I liked seeing Amy actually praise Jo for her courage in selling her hair. The book did not have that line, and I think young Amy would not have been mature enough to say those words. But I'd like to think that Jo's example helped contribute to the more mature Amy later on. The success of the miniseries lead to the network attempting a regular series -- continuing where the book ended, but it wasn't as good.
Thank you.
I grew up with June Allyson, Margaret O' Brian; can't deal with anyone else playing their parts. I'm glad someone could watch a remake and then, still choose the 1948 one as the best.
(mom and I just watched the other day, after thanksgiving.
It still gets me)
I know about time restraints and allll, But why don't they show Amy falling in the lake when ice skating and Jo rescuing her.. anymore!!?
I miss that part!! I
Maria Espinoza I feel like it’s the definitive version, for me at least.
@@mariaespinoza6358 they made Beth the youngest in that version which was just awfully incorrect
SHOOKEN This is how they should have cast the 1978 version
Lynne Frederick as Jo
Judy Matheson as Meg
Rosalyn Landor as Beth
Julie Dawn Cole as Amy
Anne Bancroft as Marmee
John Moulder Brown as Laurie
Olivia De Havilland as Aunt March
What do you think?
Winona forever
3:21 this Jo looks like Amy in 2019 version tho
"Jo SELL IS her hair?" Louisa May would be rolling in her grave!
2:19 I will start swearing like that.
This was a real treat! Thank you for posting.
So she's not allowed to let down her hair, and she's not allowed to cut her hair.
Yep. That's pretty much it.
Too old to keep it down anymore, while also too not-a-man to have it short. 🤷🏻♀️
Winona Ryder is gorgeous with the short haircut.
her one beauty
It was believable with all the actresses except Winona
1994 is my favorite. This movie makes me crying. Love and kinds between them I like this version 1994 the most.
Winona Ryder is my favorite character
The actresses are all soo old ... Except for maybe Winona Ryder
At least this version had a preteen for Amy and a teen for Beth . Instead of 4 women aged 20 to 30 like the new version
@@marionarda2790 I really liked more the new version. And Florence Pugh really convinced me she was only 12 years old. She did such an amazing job! And the other actresses too.
@@xxcris20xx Have you seen 12 year olds ? She looked at least 22 and sounded like a 62 year old chain smoker
@@marionarda2790 It's quite rude of you to say Florence sounded like a '62 year old chainsmoker' just because she has a deep voice. She was beautiful in her portrayal of Amy March.
1949 best movies little women best actress actor play part not like today
1978 - total cringe. At least we got battle star galactica, partridge family, Brady bunch America and Family Ties.
It's Okay To Be Clown Pilled This is how they should have cast the 1978 version
Lynne Frederick as Jo
Judy Matheson as Meg
Rosalyn Landor as Beth
Julie Dawn Cole as Amy
Anne Bancroft as Marmee
John Moulder Brown as Laurie
Olivia De Havilland as Aunt March
WDYT?
June Allyson 1949 as Jo is the best in this scene.. The delayed reaction in the 1933 version is so cringe to watch and Katharine Hepburn is so constantly overactive it's distracting.
You're right about Kate. I think people cut the 1933 version a lot of slack because the idea of Katharine Hepburn as Jo seems like such a good idea, but looking at it objectively reveals that she wasn't completely ready for the role of Jo at this early stage in her career.
The last one was the one I grew up with
She is so generous
The acting in the first clip is as if everyone's drunk
Well, we can probably safely say that Kate was, at least.
2 more versions to add now. : )
June Alyson is the best.
My mom and I saw the 2019 movie version in theaters together. Neither of us had read the book before then, and my mom assumed that Jo cutting her hair was added in to help with the non-linear narrative.
Oh it would have been wonderful to see the other renditions :)
I liked the 1949 version also. wado,AnnBenson😊.
La mejor versión hasta el día de hoy es la de 1949, June Allyson la mejor Jo y Elizabeth Taylor la mejor Amy
Las dos eran demasiado mayores para los personajes, y Elizabeth Taylor no tenía los rasgos físicos para interpretar a Amy (pelo rubio y ojos azules).
Always loved Jo!
June allyson had the essence of Jo down even though she was the eldest of the Jo's.
1994 the best for me
1994 is my favorite. The other versions in my humble opinion are so over acted. 💮
There was also a better understanding of costume and set design by 1994, that didn't simply look like reused stock material.
shrek the 2nd 50 years from now people would think movies of today are over acted. There are movies from the 80s that I think are over acted but at that time didn't faze me. Some 90s movies are starting to look like that now too.
@@ashleyfaminial964 really, I think 90s and 80s films seem natural enough. Also, it seems that the society and mannerisms were different in the 30s, 40s, if you meet people from that era who now are 70+ - some of them talk like that.
ngl for me, Winona Ryder is the epitome of over acting🙃... I think it's how she tries to lower her voice. It drives me up the wall
1:15 i love how he says christopher Columbus🥺
1994 version is the best
June and Winona were the best Jo's
The 1994 version had the only Beth that made me cry 😿.
This is why people like Jo more than Amy.
Winona Rider is the best Jo, I think.
I ❤ her!!! 😭😭😭
Little woman 2020❤️
How beautiful Meg is in the 1949 version
I noticed that in the 1994 adaptation, they actually styled Jo’s hair after chopping it off - as opposed to the other adaptations where they just chop her hair off (though I will say that the 1933’s adaptation sort of styled her hair).
You forgot the anime series ):
The 1978 version strayed a long way from the book. The 1933and 1949 are so delightful and I love seeing snippets. The actresses except for Margaret O Brien are long dead. I enjoyed the 1994, except that Winona Ryder was way too pretty for Jo and the most recent is lovely as well.
I wonder how the newest Little Women handles this scene
Jae Pencil it’s done very well.
@@thedrunkenelf Oh good
Janet Leigh looked a bit like Keyra Knightley
I love your avi. Johnny was so beautiful
Like fairy GIFs fading away... 🧚♀️
I feel deliciously light and cool too
I wonder the cost to buy a ticket today would be compared to $25 back in the 1860s
‘Your one beauty’. To Winona Ryder. 🥴
Hepburn chewin' up the furniture...so, Winona ftw
Why does the 1949 Jo feel the most modern? Even though I can clearly see a YOUNG Elizabeth Taylor, there's something seems "very today" about that version's Jo!
1994 was perfect
Katharine Hepburn as Claire Danes as Temple Grandin
June Allyson was the best
Hepburn was the most annoying and much too old for the part. Winona Rider at the end played it nicely. And her facial features : OMG flawless.
You do not understand classic movies
why does Laurie look like 30 in the 1930s and 1940s versions!
Uh,bcuz they were?
Everybody looks old in the thirty’s and forty’s.
Katharine Hepburn was born to play Jo March.
Original is the best.
The 2018 modern dress version is bizarre. Beth gets cancer and Jo shaves her head bald in some sort of solidarity. There is a quick line about her using the money to pay for a gum ball machine she broke after having a temper tantrum.
I just see the new one (from master piece) and as long in THEORY has everything to top all the other ones, it is bad as hell... is the way they modified the time line, and how they emphasize all things unimportant, and let pass almost as nothing the more iconic parts of the story...all those long minute footage of things instead in of used for a more important scenes was so annoying.... I´ll keep wishing to see a version with as good cast and acting like 94's version, as long like masterpiece one, and faithful to the book like a Jane Austen's miniseries made by the BBC...
tomojo333 - The one coming out this Christmas has an excellent cast. I'm very much looking forward to it.
and why are the costumes in the 1978 version absolute trash?
Siri Hammond it def feels more like the 70s in that one. The way it was put together was also trash
Siri Hammond It was a made for tv thing. Budget probably wasn't that big.
Anthony Robertson that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have at least attempted some historical accuracy.
😂🤣😂 Million dollar productions had adequate budgets for costumes, not low-budget TV shows on small low resolution TV screens.
They don't look trash to me.
God, Hepburn was too old and the acting was so heavy handed! Could never watch that version at all! June was also too old, but comes across as more sincere in the role of Jo in my favorite version of this story. The '49 version has something that the others don't, I like all of the men. That's the thing I dislike most of all in the other films, the men are uneven, or not worth mentioning.
my lord this movie
Katharine Hepburn blows them all out the water.
She acted the scene very well. So many nice detais.
Chris Jenkins - I agree, she is my favorite Jo. Probably Winona coming in as my 2nd favorite.
Hair-oine!
Christopher Columbus as a 'swear word' when?
How many “Little women“ adaptations are there?
I like the new one tho maybe cuz of the cast
How many movies have they made?
1994 version is superior.
Talk about hat hair
Is it me, or do people from over half a century ago and earlier almost sound as if they were British???
Do u really got paid that much for hair in that era?
Pretty much. People didn't wash it more than once a week and brushed it daily, so the hair didn't get fried.
There's no apostrophe in "sells". Duh.
Tim McGee Oops! My bad. Thank you. I corrected it. I’m not infallible, and I’m certainly not a linguist.
In the 1949 version they just butchered her hair
Strangely becoming.

A film about women being owned played by women who were owned back when women were still owned....
