Showtimes for A Star Is Born
Part of: Melo-Drama-Rama
Hosted by Melo-drama-rama
As one star rises, another falls in the second of four screen incarnations of the timeless tale of tragic love and addiction, A Star Is Born. Minnesota’s own Judy Garland gives a career-defining comeback performance as the ascendant singer-actress, catapulted into superstardom by James Mason’s spiraling matinee idol. The first film shot entirely in CinemaScope, this 1954 masterpiece plays out its heightened sentiments and heartrending scenarios on the world’s biggest and most unforgiving stage: the Hollywood machine. Experience the hysterical highs and dismal lows, projected for one night only in stunning 35mm, as part of The Heights Theater’s monthly Mel-O-Drama-Rama series- a celebration of insane passion, torrid romance, and delirious emotion.
A movie star helps a young singer-actress find fame, even as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral.
