¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaGeorge Cukor offered Marlon Brando the role of Norman Maine on the set of Julio César (1953). "Why would you come to me?" asked Brando. "I'm in the prime of my life... If you're looking around for some actor to play an alcoholic has-been, he's sitting right over there"- pointing at his costar James Mason, who got the part.
- ErroresAfter Vicki comes home and she performs in her house for Norman, the doorbell rings and he goes to the door to accept a package for Vicki. His hair is all mussed-up when he goes to the door, but after he closes it and the camera goes back to him, there isn't a hair out of place. Then he walks over to where Vicki is and his hair is all mussed-up again.

Vicki Lester: Hello, everybody. This is Mrs. Norman Maine.
- Versiones alternativasContrary to popular belief, the film was not originally at 181 minutes, but rather 196 (3hrs. and 16mins.) at a post-premiere shown on August 8, 1954 in Huntington Park, California. After its second post-premiere - the very next day - two scenes of 15 minutes total were deleted; making the film run its original world debut length at 181 minutes. One was a number called "When My Sugar Walks Down the Street" that came after Judy's take of "I'll Get By" in the 'Born in the Trunk' sequence, the other was a scene where Garland and James Mason's characters (Vicki and Norman) were picnicking on the beach; production stills and promotional advertisements are the only thing left in existence of the footage. After its world premiere on September 29, 1954, 27 minutes was cut, bringing it down to a mediocre 154 time length. Those scenes were:
- 1) Esther quitting the band
- 2) The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo
- 3) Esther working at a drive-in
- 4) Norman being driven away drunk in his car
- 5) Norman inquiring Esther's old landlady
- 6) Spotting Esther on the TV commercial
- 7) Tracking down Esther at her new boarding residence
- 8) Driving down the strip - Esther getting sick
- 9) "Here's What I'm Here For" musical number - Norman proposes
- 10) "Lose That Long Face" musical number - Vicki breaks down

Opinión destacada
The story of "A star is born" was adapted at least four times (apart from similar stories under different names, such as "The artist" (2011, Michel Hazanavicius)). In 1937 the lead roles were played by Janet Gaynor and Fredric March (director William Wellman), in 1954 by Judy Garland and James Mason (director George Cukor), in 1976 by Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (director Frank Pierson) and in 2018 by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper (director Bradley Cooper).
When the same story is adapted multiple times I like to compare the different versions. That is, when the remake(s) (as is unfortunately often the case) is (are) not vastly inferior to the original. This is not the case by "A star is born". The 1976 and 2018 versions are about popstarts, the 1937 and 1954 versions are about filmstars. I shall compare the 1937 and 1954 versions.
The 1937 version has more elements of a comedy, the 1954 version is more a pure tragedy. The 1954 version is also more big budget with expensive musical scenes. In 1954 the Hollywood system was at its peak, just before the fall caused by television (a threat which is alluded to several times in the 1954 version as "rough times for the business"). The story is in essence about the replaceability of stars in the Hollywood system and the 1954 version makes very clear that behind the dream factory there is a relentless business model.
The 1937 version is more about the rise of the woman than the fall of the man. In the 1937 version we see Janet Gaynor leaving her old farm house in North Dakota, heading for Hollywood full of dreams and ambitions. When in Hollywood she does an awfull lot of effort to attract attention. In the 1954 version Esther Blodgett (Judy Garland) is already in Hollywood and catches the attention of Norman Maine (James Mason) by accident. In a cynical scene at the beginning of the movie we see Norman asking a waiter if there are new girls that are ambitions and willing. Also in 1954 Harvey Weinstein types of men were never absent in Hollywood.
With respect to the fall of Norman two scenes are crucial to see the difference between the two versions. The first one is the speech of Esther accepting an Oscar which is disturbed by a drunken Norman. In 1937 Fredric March plays the drunken Norman as angry, in 1954 James Mason plays the drunken Norman as desperate. The second scene is the scene in which Esther tells the studio boss about the hopeless struggle Norman is waging against his alcohol addiction. Judy Garland puts much more emotion in this scene then Janet Gaynor. This is understandable when one realises that Judy is playing Esther but her real life was very similar to that of Norman.
