Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jo comes home from New York and sees Beth sick on the sofa, she gives Beth a music box. Beth opens the lid to the music box and in the next shot, the camera is pulled back and Beth opens the lid again.
Little Women (1949)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Mervyn LeRoy
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford, June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien
Visible crew/equipment: When Marmee checks on the girls while they pretend to be asleep, the oil lamp she picks up has an electric cord attached to it. (00:23:39)
Marmee: I would rather you all become happy wives to poor men or even respectable old maids, than queens on thrones without peace or self-respect.
Trivia: Mary Astor plays Marmee, the mother of Jo (June Allyson). In real life, Astor was only eleven years older than Allyson.
