50th Anniversary of Judy Garland’s Cecil B. DeMille Award! Beautiful Digital Presentation! A STAR IS BORN January 15, 2012

Sunday, January 15 – 1:00 PM
50th Anniversary of Judy Garland’s Cecil B. DeMille Award! Beautiful Digital Presentation! A STAR IS BORN, 1954, Warner Bros., 170 min. Alcoholic failing star Norman Maine (James Mason) discovers and marries rising matinee idol songbird Esther Blodgett (Judy Garland) in director George Cukor’s emotionally incandescent remake of William Wellman’s 1937 version. Fueled by Garland’s terrifying vulnerability, Cukor’s flawless direction, a superb script by Moss Hart and production design by Gene Allen (MY FAIR LADY) that brilliantly evokes Hollywood wealth and power, A STAR IS BORN (shown here in the restored, 170-minute version) is an amazing synthesis of on-screen drama, music and behind-the-scenes myth. [35mm]
