Quotations

For Cukor the Four Girls of Doctor March was not, before it was interested in it, anything else that a novel for gamines: “When I started to read it, I did not return from there. In fact this book is neither mièvre nor sentimental, but full with force. It is a marvellous fresco of the family life in New England, testifying to an admirable moral rigor all impregnated clean austerity and spirit of sacrifice at the time. ”
