A Star Is Born

Marvelous William Wellman classic drama about the early days of the Hollywood star system stars Fredric March as one-time screen idol Norman Maine, who meets and falls for waitress/would-be actress Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor)-only to watch his career decline, as hers rises to the top. This first filming of the memorable story was also one of the first films to be shot in Technicolor; with Andy Devine, Adolphe Menjou, and Lionel Stander.
