A Star is Born rarely stops seeming manufactured; it can't disguise its manipulations or the process of the storytelling. You see the tangled strings, not the puppets. Full Review

It is ironic that the star system itself has killed A Star is Born, a film written to expose that system for just this kind of destructiveness. Full Review

Having seen both Janet Gaynor and Judy Garland (several times) one can only say that this picture as a re-re-make, suffers by comparison and so does its star (not him, but her)... But, it is also a film with two stars who are well worth seeing. Full Review

A Star Is Born presents Streisand in an appealing and sympathetic role, and Kristofferson provides the perfect balance. In his toughest dramatic assignment to date, he is exceptionally good. Full Review

This version vaunts its modernity by vulgarising everything in sight. Full Review

The new A Star Is Born has the rare distinction of being a superlative remake. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Too often director Frank Pierson appears to be allowing his players to act the scene as they think fit rather than under his guidance. Full Review

Product Description:

Two rock superstars play out their lives against the high pressure background of big-time rock and roll. Streisand's singing adds luster to a familiar script. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Song Score. Academy Awards: Best Song ("Evergreen").

Description by Warner Home Video:

Star Is Born, A (1976)
The fire of Barbra Streisand. The magnetism of Kris Kristofferson. The reckless world of big-time rock 'n' roll. All three bring a new passion and timeliness to A Star Is Born, one of the screen's classic love stories (previously filmed in 1937 and 1954) and winner of five Golden GlobeO Awards, including Best Picture, Actress and Actor (Musical/Comedy).
Paul Williams, Kenny Loggins, Leon Russell and others worked with Streisand on one of the most popular song scores ever, topped by the Streisand/Williams Evergreen winning the Academy AwardO and Golden GlobeO Award as 1976's Best Original Song. Their teamwork resulted in a box-office triumph as well as "a considerable achievement" (Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical).
