REVIEWS:

"Those who have blissful recollections of David O. Selznick's 'A Star Is Born' as probably the most affecting movie ever made about Hollywood may get themselves set for a new experience that should put the former one in the shade when they see Warner Brothers' and George Cukor's remake of the seventeen-year-old film. And those who were no more than toddlers when that classic was starting floods of tears may warm themselves up for one of the grandest heartbreak dramas that has drenched the screen in years. ....
It is something to see, this 'Star Is Born'."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; October 12, 1954
