A Star is Born (Movieland)

A Star is Born

USA 1954 | George Cukor | vostFR | 174’ | 35mm | Cast : Judy Garland, James Mason, Charles Bickford, Jack Carson 

Grâce à un comédien sur le retour, une chanteuse inconnue devient vedette de cinéma, tandis que son mentor sombre dans l’alcool…

« The routine for The Man That Got Away (music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin) is among the finest musical numbers ever filmed. In the age of video we are at liberty to watch it again and again and exult in the smashing precision to Judy's emotionalism. » (Have You Seen...?, Ed. Alfred Knopf)

« The acting honours belong to Mason: whether idly cruising the L.A. dance-halls for a new woman, sliding into alcoholism, or embarassing everyone at an Oscar ceremony, he gives a performance which is as good as any actor is ever allowed. » (TimeOut Film Guide)
