well they dont make them like this no more! But thats how it was back then, it was the mid 70s and this was a cracker and it had everything, music, stars, drama, love, and of course tears! I was born in 69 but having 3 older sisters would have probably been allowed to stay up and watch it if 'I keep quiet' and 'dont tell mum' at the start of the 80s when it first hit the tv and it must have struck a chord with me as i have made a point of watching it when it has been repeated over the past 30 years. but on the other hand this film now will seem very dated because simply it is! its 35 years old!! so yes fashion, music, the way we make films has changed so much, but more importantly what we expect from a film has changed dramatically! we expect it to be so honest, so truthful, like a fly on the wall these days, and 'a star is born' wont get many stars from young film buffs who expect this quality. but for film lovers in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, be generous and get ya stars out!
