Review for A Star is Born:
You might call it the original La La Land. The timeless story of the small-town girl who is discovered by Hollywood is the theme of the 1937 film, A Star is Born stars Janet Gaynor and Fredric March.
When a young actress (Gaynor) arrives in Hollywood with hopes of stardom, a chance encounter places her under the wing of older actor Norman Maine (March). Adopting the stage name Vicki Lester, she co-stars with Norman in a major motion picture, but his success is clearly fading even as her career begins.
This 80th anniversary screening is from a restored Technicolor print taken directly from original film elements stored in the George Eastman House archive.
