A Star is Born [1976 PAL DVD9][En Multisubs[7]

Description

The third remake of the 1932 drama What Price Hollywood, this adaptation
of A Star Is Born moved the story into the mid-1970's and changed the milieu
from the movie business to pop music. John Norman Howard (Kris Kristofferson)
is a rock star whose career has peaked; he is numbed by booze and cocaine,
his music has lost its edge, and his performances have become painfully
haphazard.
One night, after a concert, he stumbles into a club where he sees a singing
group fronted by Esther Hoffman (Barbra Streisand). John likes what he
hears and loves what he sees; he tries picking her up, but soon realizes if he
wants to see her, he'll have to ask her out on an actual date. He does, and
before long the two become involved, although Esther has trouble with John's
rock star lifestyle. One night, a typically burned-out John lets Esther sing a few
songs at one of his shows; before long she's the talk of the record business.
While Esther's star begins to rise, John's continues to sink, and while she
desperately tries get John to clean up and focus on his music, it may be too
late to save him. The song "Evergreen" earned this film an Academy Award
for Best Song; the credits contain the amusing notice,
"Ms. Streisand's Clothes from ... Her Closet."
