Reviews for A Star Is Born
The plot and characters must have seemed clichéd to audiences seventy years ago, and they haven't improved with age.
If only the Colonel had let Elvis play Streisand's John Norman, it might have been the camp classic closeted (very closeted) Streisand freaks insist A Star Is Born really is.
The weakest of the 3 versions, this one is tolerable due to Streisand and Kristoferson's charisma and some of the songs; Streisand's comments offer some interesting insights.
