Although the story is the same and I love Katherine Hepburn as an actress, I prefer the other version because it's made in beautiful technicolor, and I love June Allyson as Jo (moreover, the 40's Laurie, Peter Lawford, is much more attractive than the 30's one )

so i'm no more curious about that version , still the 40s Little Woman is lovely

honestly, when i see some stills from 30s version, i don't have good impression with Katherine Hepburn, i think she is the best for a witch role ( i don't mean to be rude)

Ha,ha, poor Katherine, that certainly isn't a flattering hair style.

A few days ago I saw Franco Zeffirelli's The Taming of the Shrew (1967). Although some scoffed at the idea of Liz doing Shakespeare, she and Richard funded this film themselves because they believed in it so much.

She looks great in "The Taming of the Shrew", and what an amazing eyes she has.

I don't like pictures 5 and 6. She was too tanned.

^^ If there's one thing about Liz in the late 60's through the 80's that drives me nuts, it's all that tanning she did! It was so unnecessary, she had such a gorgeous milky white complexion naturally. Anyhoo, I love the first picture.

So happy you guys like the screencaps! Sorry if there are a lot, it was such a visually lush film that I kind of went overboard. It's a special movie - great to see the Burtons together in lighter, more fun fare. And Elizabeth had some brilliant moments in it.
