Thanks for posting this great movie classic . It is my fav of the "Star is Born" series. Beyonce is doing remake? i wish her well but, Janet Gaynor cannot be copied . Long live Janet Gaynor forever !!!!!!!!!!!!
This film scratches the Yank audience's back. The plain girl succeeding in a glamorous profession - Doris Day etc. March in real life would not look twice at Esther Blodgett.
@001Broadway I thought it was interesting when Arsenio Hall asked Don Ameche which of the "old Hollywood" actors he should have on his show live or dead if he could, Ameche said Bill Powell, which surprised Arsenio. Ameche said that he was funny and could tell some stories. He was also pretty smart. Powell lived to be 92 and was friends with Loy until his death.
@001Broadway Powell also deal with some serious trauma in his life. He was a cancer survivor at a time when there weren't many of them (I think either bladder or prostate), he survived the deaths of his ex-wives (his first wife and Carol Lombard, who died around the same time-mid 1940s), he survived the death of Jean Harlow, whom he loved deeply (there is a photo of him being physically supported as he grieves) and the suicide of his only son William Dean Powell.
@001Broadway From what I read, he was well liked and respected even by his exes (including Carol Lombard). He could fall into a depressive mood at times and he seemed to have this habit of falling in love with women who were younger (of course the two big ones being Jean Harlow and his last wife Diana Lewis). I also like to think that he had a good sense of himself, which also may have played into his turning down the role in that movie.
Frederic March. Not a better actor. Ever. He is largely forgotten now, and that is a real pity. He was far ahead of his time. This is typical of his naturalistic, honest acting talent. He could equaly play comedy and drama....and the balance between the two.
@amcoca I agree. And without H´wood, there would be no pop-culture. Hollywood start it ALL! Rock´n´roll would not exist without H´wood. When, after so many years, someone will mention 20th century, people will immediately think of 2 WW and... Hollywood/motion pictures! That s why, people, give your tumbs up and maybe AFI will wake the fuck up!!! ;)
People, artists like Fredric March shouldn´t be forgotten. And neither great movies they starred in . Regards to all classic Hollywood fans!
@amcocaI think AFI does a lot, but NOT enough for people´s consciousess (especially among young ppl) of classic Hollywood and classic stars, who really were Stars- in every meaning of the word, they deserved this title. Im 24, and I fell in love with classic movies a few years ago(3-4) and I´ll never go back, I hope! After all, I think-and ppl maybe don´t even realize- that invention of motion pictures and Hollywood itself, was the biggest thing of 20th century. At least in popular culture.
@amcocaI . And he will stay there, for sure. Golden star of a Hollywood´s Golden Age. Thank god that Fredric won 2 oscars, it proves that Academy once(long ago) knew what they were doing. I am so glad that people like me still remember those giants of silver screen and let other people know about them. I was very surprised when AFI didn´t place Fredric March among 25 most legendary actors, he deserved it, although I believe he wasn´t far behind...
@amcocaI . I agree. I love Fredric March...He was as good an actor as it gets. I saw him in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde first, years ago on a double feature DVD(1931 and 1942 version) and I thought he was very good. But then I saw The Best Years Of Our Lives and I was blown away. wow, superb acting. Then I saw Dr. Jekyll again and other movies starring him and ever since this STAR is among my top 3 favourite actors
@001Broadway The irony of this version of "A Star is Born" is that Fredric March was at the height of his career and Janet Gaynor was soon to retire. March went on to play many important roles in films and on Broadway. He was the first choice for Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" on Broadway, but turned it down. He later played the part in the film version. Also see "Inherit the Wind" and "The Iceman Cometh". I agree, he was one of the Great actors with a very interesting career.
@001Broadway William Powell was first approached for March's role in The Best Years of Our Lives (because he and Loy were box office gold and she wanted him for the role). Powell was really cutting back on the roles he took and as much as he wanted to do it, he felt that he didn't have it in him. He was one of the people who recommended March as one of the possible choices.
@ladyday93 Hello, thanks for this info. I´m glad to hear the things I don´t know yet. I like William Powell very much, too. He is my favourite comedian, but I prefer to see March in The Best Years...Fredric is also so beautiful to me ;) Although I know Powell is also great in a dramatic roles. And Mr. Bill seams such a nice guy, he has this childish innocence in his eyes
3:56 - 5:30 was used in Creepshow. I have been searching for this clip for years, but I never knew which movie it was from. Thanks so much for posting this!
wait a minute...... this is in TechniCOLOR from 1937, why does The Wizard of Oz get credit for the first color movie, if it was made in 1939? Was this movie originally black and white and colorized or something? I'm confused!
@mr40sfan I can't answer your question, but I'm old enough that I saw "Wizard of Oz" when it was first released (at least I thought it had just been released, but perhaps not since I was born in '45.) At any rate, "Wizard" started out in black and white, and didn't switch to color until the first view of the Emerald City. Talk about a phenomenal attack on the senses to see that brilliant green on the screen when everything until that scene had been black and white! Truly amazing at the time.
@mockingbird1945 The Wizard of Ox was in sepia in Kansas. but when Dorothy entered Oz, it was in color. When she returned to Kansas, the movie was in sepia again.
@mr40sfan Color was used in film as early as the 1920's. Many films from the early 1930's were filmed in Technicolor. Check out the finale of Kid Millions - 1934, in glorious three strip technicolor. Check out "Technicolor Fragments' here on Youtube from the 1920's. Oz definitely wasn't the first- not sure where that myth got started.
That overcast sky above you is chemicals - mostly aluminum. I filmed it myself (my chan). Search for "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather" and "Endgame HQ". Please wake up and wake others.
Let's all boycott General Mills for ruining this wonderful classic picture with their ad for "Total Cereal" As a matter of fact, I will purposely go out and buy Kasha Go Lean instead! Grrr!
