Gillian Armstrong's LITTLE WOMEN

It's a classic story of four young women growing up in civil-war era New England with a strong and independent mother.  Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon star in this family favorite. With her husband off at war, Marmee (Sarandon) is left alone to raise their four daughters. There is the spirited Jo (Ryder); conservative Meg (Trini Alvarado); fragile Beth (Claire Danes); and romantic Amy (Kirsten Dunst).  As the years pass, the sisters share some of the most cherished and painful memories of self-discovery.  Gabriel Byrne, Eric Stoltz, and Christian Bale co-star in this handcrafted valentine of a film.
