In this incandescent performance, [Judy Garland] seems to be playing on her nerves: she cannot but strike at ours. Full Review

Judy Garland gives everything she has as the young star on the way up; her performance is an emotional autobiography. Full Review

From this almost traditional mush, Moss Hart, basing his script on an older one by Dorothy Parker, Alan Campbell and Robert Carson, has written a superb satire on Hollywood through which winds a plausible and moving love story. Full Review

James Mason rescues much of the story with his magnificent acting; Judy Garland distracts us from the rest of it with her magnificent singing. Full Review

Product Description:

The beautifully shot A STAR IS BORN recounts a tragic Hollywood tale of fame and misfortune. As young Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) rises to stardom, her husband, former leading man Norman Maine (Fredric March), is in the midst of a heartbreakingly rapid decline. Gaynor is both genuine and funny as the small-town girl who loses her one great love while she pursues another, and March is perfect as the passé alcoholic has-been. The film received six Academy Award nominations and won a special award for its color cinematography.
