There has been no picture like 'A Star is Born'."; about an aging star who marries an up-and-coming star; partially based on the true story of Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, which had been previously somewhat covered in "The Jolson Story" in 1946) starring Judy Garland (nominated for of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; her loss to Grace Kelly was famously quipped by Groucho Marx as "the biggest robbery since Brink's"!), James Mason (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Carson, Charles Bickford, Tommy Noonan, Lucy Marlow, Amanda Blake, Irving Bacon, James Brown, Lotus Robb, Richard Webb, and Sam Colt. Note that this movie was loosely remade in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristoffersen in the lead roles, and they were updated to being rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) performers. It was remade again in 2018, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is a studio issued corrective snipe in the middle of the tagline at the right of the poster. The snipe corrects a tactical error! (Originally, the tagline read "We believe there hasn't been before, even once, such a performance by a motion picture star, such perfection in motion picture entertainment!", and someone felt it was slighting all the other actors in the movie (especially James Mason), so it was corrected to read "We believe there hasn't been before, even once, such performances by motion picture stars, such perfection in motion picture entertainment!"! There was a similar problem with the different tagline on the insert, which they also corrected with a studio issued snipe! Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a studio-issued corrective snipe in the middle right (see above). It has some tiny smudges in the right blank border, with two very tiny tears. Otherwise, the poster is in wonderful condition!
