About this product
Product Information
A musical biography of British music hall and Broadway star Gertrude Lawrence, STAR! is a convincing and entertaining film, featuring an impressive score. The immensely talented Julie Andrews plays Lawrence, a beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely independent woman who will do anything for her career (including leaving her daughter and husband). Her early adventures in the music hall chorus and her later involvement in British high society are chronicled in this lush film that, though it received several Academy Award nominations, was not appreciated by the public until some 30 years after its original showing, when it was rereleased. One of the most interesting, heartwarming, and perhaps most famous aspects of Lawrence's story was her lifelong friendship with playwright Nöel Coward (Daniel Massey, the real-life grandson of Coward), which the film accurately portrays. STAR! also shows the lowlights of Lawrence's life, including her strained relationship with her daughter Pamela (Jenny Agutter), her involvement with such men as American actor Charles Fraser (Robert Reed) and English nobleman Sir Anthony Spencer (Michael Craig), and the financial difficulties she amassed from her extravagant lifestyle.Product Identifiers

Beautiful portrayal of a great star!!!
This movie is truly a star itself. It recounts the unbelievable talents of Gertrude Lawrence as she rises to stardom on Broadway as well as London's West End in the first half of the 20th century. It also displays the considerable talents of Julie Andrews. It is entertaining and beautifully donel. The dancing, songs, and acting are superb, the story fascinating, and the on-location venues gorgeous. If you love theater, you will not want to miss this outstanding glimpse into the life of Gertrude Lawrence, who was a truly great star, much beloved by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic as well as by her fellow performers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
