Book/DVD: Little Men: Louisa May Alcott

To the surprise of all, Jo March inherits Plumfield, Aunt March's spacious old home and estate. And almost before she knows it, she's married to her Professor Bhaer and her dreams of a school for boys - a happy home-like place - are being fulfilled. With two sons of her own, and twelve rescued orphan boys tumbling about the house and orchard, she couldn't be happier. But despite the warmth, affection and unconditional love of Jo, the Professor and the rest of the March family, boys will get into scrapes, and there are plenty of troubles and adventures in store. But there is love and learning as well.

DVD: Professional swindler Major Burdle abandons his old ways and devotes himself to his adopted son Daniel and the (somewhat) more honest work of running a travelling medicine show. But a court order dictates that Daniel must go to school and the Major enrolls him at Plumfield, the school of Professor Bhaer and Jo. While Daniel struggles with the disciplinary structure of the school, the Professor is embroiled in a fight to keep his school. He must come up with $5000 or face eviction. The Professor gives his life savings to Burdle, who has misrepresented himself as an investment broker - a decision that may jeopardise the school and Daniels new life. Stars Kay Francis, Jack Oakie and Jimmy Lydon.
