Little Women - Jo sells her hair 

klassicalmuzik agree!

Love Lynne Frederick 😍 she has the most beautiful eyes

Aaliyah yes! Can you see her playing Jo in the 1978 adaptation?

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.

It always makes me cry. The best version imho

Best version!

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.

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 😛

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.

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.

Charlotte Spears agreed. Best renditions the others were a bit cringe

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.

It is the best and closest to the real story

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

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. 💕

I agree. And i always lol when Amy says "your 1 true beauty!" Such a sister thing 2 say

Is "MARMEE" a regionalism? Sorry, I'm not American

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.

It was believable with all the actresses except Winona

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?

Yep. That's pretty much it. Too old to keep it down anymore, while also too not-a-man to have it short. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

Oh it would have been wonderful to see the other renditions :)

Well, we can probably safely say that Kate was, at least.

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.

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?

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).

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

Jae Pencil it’s done very well.

@@thedrunkenelf Oh good

I love your avi. Johnny was so beautiful

Uh,bcuz they were?

Everybody looks old in the thirty’s and forty’s.

You do not understand classic movies

tomojo333 - The one coming out this Christmas has an excellent cast. I'm very much looking forward to it.

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.

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.

Pretty much. People didn't wash it more than once a week and brushed it daily, so the hair didn't get fried.

Tim McGee Oops! My bad. Thank you. I corrected it. I’m not infallible, and I’m certainly not a linguist.

lichub Oops! My bad. Thank you. I corrected it. I’m not infallible, and I’m certainly not a linguist.

Alice John 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?
