I don't think Jo would allow anything to be cut out...  but in a book, a lot
of time is spent describing locations, and objects - especially Food in Jo's
case.   A picture is worth a 1000 words... thus, a good set is all that is
needed to skip large chunks of the book.

At least... that's my view of how things go in the movie industry.  Do we
have any insiders who can say more about the movie making process - and how
they manage to compress a book to movie length?
