Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • Jo March: [repeated several times] Christopher Columbus!
  • Amy March: I`m sure neither of you suffer as I do. You don`t have to go to that nasty old Davis` school with impertinent girls who laugh at your dresses and label your father `cause he isn`t rich. Jo March: Libel, libel! Don`t say "label" as if Papa were a pickle bottle. Amy March: I know what I mean. And you needn`t be statirical about it. [Jo suppresses a laugh at Amy`s mispronunciation] Amy March: It`s proper to use good words and improve your vocabillary.
  • [last lines] Prof. Bhaer: Oh, please, please... just, just one moment, before... I have a wish to ask you something. Would you... Oh, I-I... I have no courage to think that... but, but, but, could I dare hope that... I? I... I know I, I shouldn`t make so free as to ask. I have nothing to give, but my heart so full and... and these empty hands. Jo March: [taking his hands in hers] Not empty now. Prof. Bhaer: Oh, heart`s dearest! [they embrace] Jo March: [drawing him into the house] Welcome home!
  • [first lines] Marmee March: So you`re going to Washington? Elderly man: Yes, ma`am; my son is sick in the hospital there. Marmee March: Oh, this will be an anxious Christmas for you. Marmee March: [finding him a coat] I think this one will do; let`s try this. Is it your only son? Elderly man: No, ma`am. I had four; two were killed, one is a prisoner. Marmee March: [deeply moved] You`ve done a great deal for your country, sir. Elderly man: Oh, not a mite more than I ought, ma`am. I`d go myself if I was any use. Thank you for the overcoat. Marmee March: Wait a minute... Marmee March: [giving him some money] I hope you find him better. Elderly man: Thank you, ma`am. God bless you; merry Christmas. Merry Christmas! Marmee March: Merry Christmas!
    Trivia
  • Uncredited producer David O. Selznick had a difficult time convincing RKO executives to produce this film, as there was a belief in Hollywood at the time that films based on historic novels were not popular, particularly one that centered on women during the Civil War. Selznick persisted and the film was a commercial success. Because of this, later in the decade Selznick produced Gone with the Wind (1939) through his own production company, Selznick International Pictures, from the novel by Margaret Mitchell.
  • Katharine Hepburn asked costume designer Walter Plunkett to copy a dress her maternal grandmother wore in a tintype photograph.
  • Louise Closser Hale first performed the role of Aunt March, but after her death on July 26, 1933, in the middle of filming, Edna May Oliver took over the role.
  • Katharine Hepburn wrote in her autobiography, "This picture was heaven to do - George Cukor perfect. He really caught the atmosphere. It was to me my youth!"
  • Joan Bennett was pregnant at the time she played Amy.
