A Star Is Born was a great 1937 moneymaker and it's an even greater picture in its filmusical transmutation.

Variety
From this almost traditional mush, Moss Hart, basing his script on an older one by Dorothy Parker, Alan Campbell and Robert Carson, has written a superb satire on Hollywood through which winds a plausible and moving love story.

The Spectator
Rating: 5/5 --
This remake of the 1937 Janet Gaynor movie is one of the superlative melodramas in Hollywood's history, and it contains the greatest ever performance by Judy Garland, paired with the brilliant James Mason - two stars at the height of their powers.

Radio Times
In this incandescent performance, [Judy Garland] seems to be playing on her nerves: she cannot but strike at ours.

Sight and Sound
A Star Is Born is the perfect blend of drama and musical - of cinematic art and popular entertainment.

Hollywood Reporter
All this, plus a dozen big musical sequences, makes Star a mighty long gulp of champagne; but, like champagne, it is hard to refuse.

TIME Magazine
James Mason rescues much of the story with his magnificent acting; Judy Garland distracts us from the rest of it with her magnificent singing.

Product Description:
The beautifully shot A STAR IS BORN recounts a tragic Hollywood tale of fame and misfortune. As young Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) rises to stardom, her husband, former leading man Norman Maine (Fredric March), is in the midst of a heartbreakingly rapid decline. Gaynor is both genuine and funny as the small-town girl who loses her one great love while she pursues another, and March is perfect as the passé alcoholic has-been. The film received six Academy Award nominations and won a special award for its color cinematography.
