A Star Is Born  (1954)

(George Cukor, US 1954, 176 min., 35mm)

Judy Garland offers her finest performance as a resplendent ingenue and aspiring actress who marries a hard-drinking leading man (James Mason). As her career takes off, his plummets to the ground. Filled with songs of joy and yearning penned by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin, the movie is the most brilliant of all of George Cukor’s films about theatre and show business. Amid the glamour, Cukor’s piercing comments on Hollywood hit their targets with the bang of Judy’s high notes. This 1983 restoration returns much of the footage that was excised after the film’s New York premiere in 1954.

About This Series

Judy, Judy, Judy (Garland)

Judy Garland’s films seem ever-present in our culture. Despite this, there are only about two dozen films that Garland played a lead in, and less than half of those are in color.
