Charity for Hummel Family - Little Women (1949) (Add Subtitled)

Little Women is a 1949 American comedy-drama film with script and music taken directly from the earlier 1933 Hepburn version. Based on Louisa May Alcott's 1868–69 two-volume novel of the same name, it was filmed in Technicolor and was produced and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. The screenplay was written by Sally Benson, Victor Heerman, Sarah Y. Mason, and Andrew Solt. The original music score was composed by Adolph Deutsch and Max Steiner. Starring by June Allyson, Peter Lawford, Margaret O'Brien, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh, Rossano Brazzi and Mary Astor. It's certainly one of the most beautiful classic films of the golden age of cinema. It also contains a very special story. In the small town of Concord, Massachusetts, during the Civil War, the March sisters—Meg (Janet Leigh), Jo (June Allyson), Amy (Elizabeth Taylor), and Beth (Margaret O'Brien)—live with their mother in a state of genteel poverty, their father having lost the family's fortune to an unscrupulous businessman several years earlier. While Mr. March (Leon Ames) serves in the Union Army, Mrs. March (Mary Astor), affectionately referred to as "Marmee" by her daughters, holds the family together and teaches the girls the importance of giving to those less fortunate than themselves, especially during the upcoming Christmas season. The March sisters are good and well educated by their mother: Amy is vain, Jo is an aspiring writer who keeps everyone entertained with her stories and plays, while the youngest March daughter, the shy and sensitive Beth, accompanies Jo's productions on an out-of-tune piano. * In the story, the Hummels were a poor, fatherless German immigrant family who lived in a run-down shack. All of the Marches, help care for the Hummel children, bringing them food, clothes, and firewood. The Hummels were grateful for this charity, but even the kindness of the March family can't keep their baby from dying of scarlet fever. The Hummels remind readers that, no matter how poor the Marches may seem, true poverty is much more severe and involves heart-breaking suffering. Little Women is a coming-of-age novel written by American novelist Louisa May Alcott, originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869 at the request of her publisher. The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—and details their passage from childhood to womanhood. Loosely based on the lives of the author and her three sisters,  it is classified as an autobiographical or semi-autobiographical novel. *** Scenes:    • Little Women | Warner Bros. Classics   #Classic #Movie #film #Letter #Christmas #MerryChristmas #Christ #Jesus #JesusChrist #America #NorthAmerica #UnitedStates #USA #Massachusetts #Novel #Romance #Literature #ClassicalLiterature #MGM #MetroGoldwynMayer #art #Culture #English #ElizabethTaylor #JuneAllyson #PeterLawford #MargaretOBrien #JanetLeigh
