Rating: 5.0
Heartbreaking but Beautiful
A Star is Born, starring Janet Gaynor and Frederic March, is the tale of a girl who dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. After arriving in Hollywood she meets a fading star who helps her become an even bigger star than he had been up to recently. Frederic March's portrayal of Norman Maine is simply fantastic. His descent is poignant and agonizing to watch as well as fascinating. Janet Gaynor does very well as Esther Blodgett, turned into Vicki Lester. Adolphe Menjou does a good job as the Hollywood producer with a heart.A real movie classic.
