Description by OLDIES.com:
Studio One was filmed live in New York, pulling many of its performers from Broadway productions of the day. Many of them were young actors who would go on to long careers in film and television, or were established stage veterans who also appeared on the big screen. The two-part adaptation of Little Women was no exception. Jo March is played by a young Nancy Marchand, making her television debut. In her mature years she became a four-time Emmy Award winner for her portrayal of publisher Margaret Pynchon on the dramatic series Lou Grant (1977-1982). Marchand is probably best known today for playing Tony Soprano's mother Livia on The Sopranos (1999-2007) for which she won a Golden Globe. Kent Smith, who plays her love interest Professor Bhaer, was the leading man in the classic horror film Cat People (1942), and its sequel, The Curse of the Cat People (1944). Conrad Bain, also making his first television appearance, would go on to much success first on the Bea Arthur sitcom Maude (1972-1978) and then as Mr. Drummond on Diff'rent Strokes (1978-1986). Una O'Connor will be instantly recognizable to horror movie fans for her hysterical roles in the James Whale classics The Invisible Man (1933) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Both parts of this Studio One adaptation of Little Women are directed by Lela Swift, a pioneering female filmmaker who directed close to 600 episodes of Dark Shadows (1966-1971).
Note: Due to the rarity of these early kinescope recordings, some picture and sound anomalies exist.
