'A STAR IS BORN' JUDY GARLAND, 'IT'S A NEW WORLD'. A CLOSEUP.

Performed by Judy Garland in A Star Is Born, 1954. This is a High Quality, Full Screen Close Up.
Judy Garland wrote: "It is difficult to be objective about one's performance. You simply cannot, no matter how hard you try, see yourself as others see you.This is especially true in making a motion picture. There is no audience to play to, only a large crowd of technicians behind a very candid camera. But perhaps this
professional "audience" is a surer guide to achievement than any other. After all, this is a group that is paid to do a job. They are not there primarily to be entertained. So, when, after I sang a song on the set of "A Star Is Born", some of these veterans applauded I knew that it was a spontaneous reaction and that I had made contact with their emotions.This is how I gauged myself for the singing you will hear. When we were shooting "A Star Is Born" at the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, I would try to make the electricians and the cameramen and the others react to the song. If it was a humorous number, I would try to make them laugh. If it was a blues, I would try to make them feel in the spirit of the song. Only when they had shown the emotion the particular song was supposed to evoke did I feel that my job was properly done. This technique was something I had worked out in my recent personal appearance tours. I used to think of audiences as something important but remote. But after I got out on the stage at the Palace in New York and the Palladium in London, and could feel the warmth sweeping up at me from the rows of people who had come to see me, I realized in a very real way that people were on my side. This is a relaxing thing for an artist, and is the only measure of human contact, which is to say, a successful performance. When people react openly the way you feel inside, you know you are reaching them. In singing these songs from "A Star Is Born", I have tried to make each of them an emotional experience. Each song mirrors a different mood, a different phase of the picture. Each should give you the pleasure of fine entertainment."
I can't help but to imagine that Judy & James Mason were in love with each other during the filming of this movie. Just imagination ... but when I watch this scene, I see two people in love. It is 'vision of joy and blossom and bloom'. Judy made contact with my emotions.

It's a New World, words by Ira Gershwin, music by Harold Arlen.
How wonderful that I'm beholding
A never-never land unfolding
Where we polish up the stars
And mountains we move
In a life where all the pleasures
We will prove.
It's a new world, I see
A new world for me!
The tears have rolled off my cheek
And fears fade ev'rytime you speak
A new world though we're in a tiny room
What a vision of joy and blossom and bloom!
A new found promise
One that will last
So I'm holding on and I'm holding fast!
You've brought a new world to me
And that it'll always, always be.

You're missing a Masterpiece ... it is an experience that is beyond words. Perhaps you will see it now? ... SMILE. For your Love of Judy, I send you lots of Rainbows. Michele

I agree about the chemistry between James and Judy. Mason always said that he had "a sort of love" for Judy. And people on the set of A Star is Born have remarked about Judy's love for him too. Mason delivered a very touching eulogy for Judy at her funeral.

[Michaelbos]

This is why she is still great to us.

Although we split.
