A Star Is Born - 1937 - 6/10

Yet another young hopeful arrives in Hollywood, yet before he dreams are dashed, she catches the eye of an alcoholic has-been.
At its core, this is melodrama, the doomed love story, steeped in veiled tales of the bygone generation.
Janet Gaynor believable as the star-struck ingenue.
Frederic March, who I usually dislike as ham prone, her is excellent as the lush.
The outstanding drawn of this, to be honest, creaker, is watching a restored Technicolor print.
Yes, 1937 and in Technicolor. It is absolutely beautiful.
