Travel back to classic Hollywood with the very first A Star Is Born (1937), the film that started the legacy later revived by Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Lady Gaga. Janet Gaynor plays an aspiring actress who comes to Hollywood with big dreams and is discovered by a famous star on the way down, played by Fredric March. Their love story unfolds against the glitz of premieres and studio soundstages, in gorgeous early Technicolor, as her star rises and his tragically falls. Nominated for six Academy Awards and winner for Best Original Story, this is a rare chance to see the original big‑screen heartbreaker the later musical versions were built on.
