A STAR IS BORN RESTORATION


I can not believe I have been invited to the World Premiere of the all new restoration of " A Star is Born".


In 1983 the late Ronald Haver restored the film to its (almost) original length . What people did not know at the time was the original negative wasn't restored. Even for the 1983 restoration premiere it wasn't a new print. It was a newly re-discovered NEW ORIGINAL PRINT that had the restored footage added back in.


Now Warner Brothers has re-stored the original negative and I am looking forward to viewing it.

If you have never seen the film "GO SEE IT". Its not really a musical (all though Judy does sing in it) its really a romantic drama set against the back drop of Hollywood. Its one of the best love story's ever told.
