This is the 1937 original A STAR IS BORN!

Produced by the legendary David O. Selznick, directed by William A. Wellman from a script by Wellman, Robert Carson, Dorothy Parker, and Alan Campbell, and starring Janet Gaynor (in her only Technicolor film) as an aspiring Hollywood actress, and Fredric March (in his Technicolor debut -- that was a big deal back then) as a fading movie star who helps launch her career. The supporting cast features Adolphe Menjou (see him in Quentin Tarantino's favorite comedy HI DIDDLE DIDDLE), May Robson, Andy Devine, Lionel Stander, and Owen Moore.

This is the first all-color film nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture!

Speaking of color... Technicolor... this was the first Technicolor film that was a critical and box office success. Until A STAR IS BORN, color films had been garish, over saturated and, as many critics complained, headache-inducing. Producer David O. Selznick insisted on muted, realistic color, and it was this success that paved the way for his Technicolor masterpiece, GONE WITH THE WIND in 1939.

The film has been remade four times: in 1954 (directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland and James Mason), in 1976 (directed by Frank Pierson and starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson), in 2013 (directed by Mohit Suri and starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur) and in 2018 (starring Bradley Cooper, who also directed, and Lady Gaga).
