A Star is Born | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

From maverick filmmakers David O. Selznick (?King Kong?, ?Gone with the Wind?) and William A. Wellman (?The Public Enemy?, ?Nothing Sacred?) comes the original, timeless tale of Hollywood fantasy and heartbreak: ?A Star is Born?.

With romance and subsequent marriage, the couple seem set for a storybook ending, but Hollywood is a capricious and sometimes cruel master. Norman, his own fame sinking, lands in a self-destructive alcoholic depression from which true love and Tinseltown fantasy may not be able to rescue him.
