A Star is Born... the remake
Posted by Victor Khomenko on April 1, 2019 at 18:57:19:
The FIRST remake, 1954.
I was certainly expecting more. The original was sweet and to the point. Thinking of the remake I was greatly concerned about James Mason - I just didn't see him in such a role.
Well... it is a surprise time. Mason is actually the only bright spot in that otherwise long and tedious production, full of mediocre uninvolving music and fuzzy plot. How did Cukor, who gave us the brilliant, subtle and unforgettable My Fair Lady, not see all the faults with that film? Yes, ten years separate them...
Rarely am I this disappointed.
