DESCRIPTION:
Judy Garland had no better showcase of her formidable singing and acting talent than as the title "star" of this moving, memorable classic directed by George Cukor. As a band singer discovered and guided to heights of show-business success by an alcoholic ex-matinee idol (James Mason), she performs one superb song after another (most by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin) in a production that exhilarates with its craft and style even as its story moves toward a heartbreaking finale. Shortened after its 1954 premiere and reconstructed to near its original length in 1983, A Star Is Born endures as one of Hollywood’s supreme triumphs.
Special Features
Disc 1, sides A and B: The movie Disc 2: Nearly four hours of extras: A dazzling assemblage of rarities, many previously unreleased: Deleted scenes and alternate filmings of four musical numbers and one dramatic sequence, over an hour of rare recording-session music and a vintage radio show. Plus Hollywood premiere telecast and newsreel, exhibitor reel and expanded post-premiere party footage, trailers of all three A Star Is Born versions, and much more
