Additional InformationA STAR IS BORN was conceived as a comeback vehicle for Judy Garland, who gives a fascinating and heartrending performance in perhaps the finest work of her career. This film was director George Cukor's first musical and first color picture; the tale of a doomed Hollywood couple, it was a remake of the 1937 William Wellman movie with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. Garland plays young singer Esther, who saves Norman Maine (James Mason), a famous star, from making a fool of himself onstage. Maine is an alcoholic whose career is on the wane but who manages, nonetheless, to acknowledge Esther's talent and help her jump-start a career in Hollywood. But as her star rises and his declines, Maine's misery grows. Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin provided Garland with songs that would become standards in her concert repertoire, including "The Man That Got Away," which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Song.

  • 'Second time around'

    Found this edition as fresh and heartrending as my first viewing of the film many years ago. The story line was as poignant and demanding on the emotions as it had been then. Brilliantly acted - Judy Garland at her best - James Mason amazing - Jack Carson carrying off his despicable role to perfection and what a refreshing change from the many slapdash comedy roles he usually plays. Yes - I still find this to be a great film!
