This version is a well-handled retelling of the classic Louisa May Alcott tale. The novel was turned into a silent film in 1919 and a 1933 version featured Katharine Hepburn. This time director LeRoy had a star-studded group playing the four sisters who are left to fend for themselves
during the Civil War. While none of the actresses was nominated for an Academy Award, the technical crew nabbed a pair of nominations for cinematography and art direction.
