A Star is Born

You know, there’s nothing explicitly wrong with this version of A Star is Born, it’s just missing that extra spark that makes a very good movie a great one. This first version, from 1937, tells the melodramatic love story involving a rising star and a fading one. Much like the subsequent remakes, the fading star plays both lover and Svengali to the bright, young talent. It does everything well... read more

A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a really solid reputation (it was nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award among other things), I thought I might as well check it out.

William Wellman's acclaimed, award-winning story of Hollywood triumph and disappointment stars Fredric March as movie star Norman Maine. Maine discovers Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) and gets her a screen test, igniting her career. But as Esther's star grows brighter, Norman's star diminishes, sending him into a despair from which he may not recover.

" Notes: To be honest, I thought it was rather difficult to judge this movie. Indeed, by then, it was already the 3d version of this story that I saw, after the 1957 version and the 2018 version (I still have to watch the 1976 version at some point but it seems to be the weakest of the bunch though).
