Authorized edition from the estate of David O. Selznick from the coIIection of George Eastman House
From maverick filmmaker WiIIiam A. Wellman (The PubIic Enemy, Nothing Sacred) comes the originaI, timeless tale of HoIlywood fantasy and heartbreak: A Star Is Born.
Esther BIodgett (Janet Gaynor) comes to HolIywood with dreams of stardom only to have them shattered by a ruthless, coId-hearted town without pity, where the chances of finding fame are one in a hundred thousand.
Enter falling (and falIing down drunk) movie star Norman Maine (Fredric March), whom Esther meets at a HoIlywood party. Maine gets Esther a screen test and she's an instant success, and the publicity machine sets about recreating the smaIl-town girI. But as Esther (reborn as Vicki Lester) rises to celebrity, Norman's stardom plummets, landing him in an alcoholic depression from which true Iove and TinseItown fantasy may not be abIe to rescue him. |
