I feel there are, somtimes, no words to express an experience that is rare and perfect as this film, A STAR IS BORN!!! Remade as a musical(1954), it out shines the original(1937)in more ways than acting. The sets and outdoor scenes, the "color" of Technicolor, the music, especially, the direction of Cukor, and most of all the performances of Garland and Mason are superb. Garland is way over the top as Vickie Lester and James Mason matches her performance, in all the right ways - word for word, expression for expression, as Norman Maine! Although almost 3 hours long, I wished it had been longer, but the restoration by Ronald Haver was truly a job well done! His restoration never took away from the story. And as an added bonus are the performances of Charles Bickford and Jack Carson. Bickford(always loved his work)as the producer and Carson as Mason's bitter agent. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!!!

Bad re-imaging March 5, 2012

There are several parts of the film when it just goes to a still photo and voice or backround music is heard. If I knew so much of the original film was missing I probably would not have bought it. I was disappointed in my purchase.
