A Star Is Born London Premiere 1955 Part 1

The 1955 London Premiere of the JUDY GARLAND movie A STAR IS BORN. This vintage newsreel features alternate takes from the movie in black and white. And I have a feeling the 'takes' are from a rough-cut of the movie. I have compared them to the DVD and all of them are out-takes.

With the upcoming hi-resolution re-release of Star is Born - you would hope that extras like this would be included. Still no mention if it will include more lost footage - one can only hope.  Thanks for posting!

@MerleOberon

Its just been auctioned off in U.S.A. it was a DeLaHaye - Diana Dors owned it before she could drive!!! check out "Diana Dor's car" ITN vid. of the sale. You can tell its the DeLaHaye by the pattern of the birds beak on the inner door panel!!!

I believe that by the time A Star Is Born was released to foreign markets (UK and others) it was already cut. It didnt get released overseas until early spring of 1955. By all accounts known it had been cut by mid to late November of 1954 in the US. Foreign markets never did get to see the complete version.......

Fantastic post! It's great to see all of the (well deserved)excitement & enthusiasm surrounding the release of this great movie and Judy's return to the big screen. I wonder which version this audience got to see - original or butchered?
