In honor of her recent passing, the Colonial is presenting a brief retrospective of the career of Elizabeth Taylor, one of the most renowned, beautiful and glamorous fim stars of the last half of the twentieth century. In this, one of her earliest featured roles as a young woman (after her breakout role as a child star in National Velvet), Ms. Taylor takes on the role of Amy in a lush adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel.

With a top-flight cast of MGM players, including June Allyson (as Jo), Janet Leigh (as Meg) and Margaret O’Brien (as Beth), as well as Peter Lawford, Rossano Brazzi and Leon Ames, this is a charming and beautifully photographed rendition of one of America’s best-loved novels, about the four March sisters as they grow up and learn life’s lessons New England during the time of the Civil War. (Bill Roth)

Directed by Mervyn LeRoy. US. 1949. NR. 121 min. WB. 35mm.
