11) LITTLE WOMEN

Director: Mervyn LeRoy

Actors: June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh,

Margaret O'Brien, Peter Lawford, Mary Astor

Year: 1949

A once-prominent family, comprised of four daughters, struggles during Christmas, but still manages to help others and enjoy the holidays. This movie has been made several times (most notably in 1994 with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon), but this is the very best version, mainly because of spunky actor June Allyson as 'Jo' and a uniquely hilarious performance by Elizabeth Taylor as 'Amy'.

Performance of the Day

Actor: ELIZABETH TAYLOR

Film: "Little Women"

Character: Amy

Year: 1949

Before she was known more for her scandalous lifestyle as opposed to her tremendous acting ability, Elizabeth Taylor starred as 'Amy' in the 1949 version of "Little Women" (the best one). She is hilarious as the snotty and slightly ignorant younger sister of June Allyson's 'Jo'. I've never seen Taylor (who donned a blonde wig) so funny and her comedic timing is perfect. I highly recommend this film.
