Description

Two features. A 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 Cukors first musical and first colour 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 Esthers talent and help her jump-start a career in Hollywood. But as her star rises and his declines, Maines 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. Also includes Meet Me In St. Louis.
