A Star Is Born

"A Star is Born" was made 3 times. The first was Esther becoming a famous actor under the wings of a legendary actor who was on his way out. That is the basic theme of all three movies. Old discovers new. The first starred Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. The latter two were musical versions. The first remake starred Judy Garland and James Mason (in one of his best roles). The 2nd remake is the one I purchased starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristopherson. The music is much more contemporary, even in today's market. Some wonderful love songs came out of this movie. The classic is "Evergreen" which is done as a BS solo and a duet with KK. There is unbelievable chemistry between the two of them. And BS's acting is wonderful and believable as a no one enjoying the steps to fame in the arms of her soulmate. It will bring you to tears as did the Judy Garland version. I highly recommend this for chick-flick night. The music is great and the plot keeps you intrigued.

Loved the moview when it first came out. LOVE both artist and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the CD!
Excellent!

If you love to listen to Barbara sing you'll truly enjoy the c/d . You might want to watch the movie first 3 ***

I bought this item in January 2010, it was shipped to South Africa and I am ever so happy I did this. Excellent quality! Thanks

When I first saw the movie, I fell absolutely in love with the music. I was wowed by both Barbra and Kristofferson. I ran out and purchased this soundtrack. This was about a year ago. It remains in my easy to reach stack of favorite soundtracks/cds. I love it. It is an absolutely groovey, funky, and lovely compilation of music that went perfect with the film and stands strong by itself.
