sorry about the lack of a warning, not seen the film and that info was part of a review I read, so I thought it was no secret, I do try to post warnings, will try harder in future.
So, anything that's already in a review isn't a spoiler? Good logic there! "Apparently."
Feel free to apologise to me too for spoiling this classic novel.
If you ask me, with this it is a tough call. It isn't like telling people that the Titanic sinks - which we know is common knowledge, and therefore not really a spoiler. However, with a book that's so famous and has had so many movie versions, I'm not sure that this really is much of a spoiler.
(Mind you, not every version is the same in regards to this part of the story.)

It's not like the Titanic at all -- that is historical fact, not a story. Little Women is a famous book but that does not equate to the details of the plot being known. By what age are people supposed to know the plots of all famous books?! I didn't know that obviously key event from this one, and I'm twice as old as some regular F.W.F.R.ers have been! |

| V&V. Sensei, you got 0.0 votes from me because I'd already acknowledged the brilliance of all five of your wonderful reviews. |

Didn't get Alcott up in the debate. Voted instead.
Thank you Grasshopper. Praise more valuable than gift. |

| I viewed each review, holding my alarm clock all the while, so I could view with alarm. And I devotedly voted accordingly, playing the accordion all the while, particularly for those reviews which struck a responsive chord. (Yes, I'd accordoned off my space first.) Now I am out of Wile, having used it up all the while. I am weally unwily wight now. |

Couldn't really care less about "Little Women" - I'm not planning on reading it or seeing it, but can understand some concern. Perhaps not the vitriol that went with the concern though.
5/5s for Bigger Boat, [matt] and Lemmy (previously). 
My favourite of the round was Turrell's ennui though... great!  |

I don't know whether you're talking about me, but if so it's just that Josh keeps giving these spoilers willy-nilly and then begrudgingly saying that they are "apparently" spoilers in order to imply that it was reasonable of him to give them in the first place. When one slips up, one should just admit it matter-of-factly, not be petulant. |

Thanks, mate! I came across ennui in a scrabble game and made me look for an appropriate movie to spring my terrible pun against. |
