All of the sisters (June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and Janet Leigh) reportedly got along terrifically, like a real sorority. Allyson, who was several years older than most of her co-stars, managed to relate to the younger women and form strong bonds with them.
Mr. Davis, the school teacher who could not bring himself to punish Amy, was portrayed by the same actor, Olin Howland, in Little Women (1933) and this movie, apparently in the same outfit. In both movies, he holds up Amy's slate with the same writing and cartoon drawing of the teacher, with a huge nose, with cartoon balloon stating, "YOUNG LADIES MY EYES ARE UPON YOU".
June Allyson was nearly 31 when she played 15-year-old Jo March, although her character is meant to be close to 25 by the time of the events that close this movie.
The basket that Margaret O'Brien carries around in this movie is the same basket that her Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) co-star Judy Garland carried in The Wizard of Oz (1939). The Wizard of Oz (1939) and this movie were produced by Mervyn LeRoy.
In addition to being pregnant with her first biological child, June Allyson also adopted her first child while this movie was in production. after Allyson learned that her daughter, Pamela Powell, had arrived for the first time at her home, she immediately left the set without asking permission, and raced home to hold her daughter. She returned later that day and told the rest of the cast and crew the joyous news.
"Amy: How was I dressed when we had all that money? Jo March: In diapers."
"Theodore Laurence 'Laurie': [upon seeing Jo's hair cut short] Christopher Columbus!"
