IMDb profile

A Star Is Born is a 1954 musical remake of the original 1937 film, directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland and James Mason. In 2000 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. Musical highlights included "The Man That Got Away" and the "Born in a Trunk" sequence. Garland was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress for her tour-de-force performance, but lost to Grace Kelly (The Country Girl). This version of the film was re-edited several times. Premiering at 181 minutes, the studio (Warner Bros.) cut the film by 30 minutes despite the objections of director Cukor and producer Sid Luft (then-husband of the female lead). In 1983, all but 5 minutes of the cut footage was found and re-instated, but some of the footage had to be reconstructed using production stills. Image File history File links AStarisBorn1954. ...
