A Star Is Born (1954)

A musical remake of the 1937 drama of two people, one moving up, the other slipping down the ladder of showbiz success.

The radiant Judy Garland stars as a talented young nightclub singer who becomes a star but loses the man she loves - who will not allow himself to hinder her rise to fame. Movie star Norman Maine (James Mason) wins the young singer’s heart and launches her career, but as his own career flounders, he sinks into an abyss of alcoholism. An absolute triumph for Garland, showcasing her full emotional, dramatic and vocal range.
