A Star Is Born - 1976 - 6/10
Up and coming singer songwriter falls in love with the out-of-step, no-longer-hot, rock star.
Sound familiar. Yeah, yeah. Overcooked remake, this time shifting into the Rock / Pop sphere.
Streisand fanatics will shout this is marvelous – It’s OK.
Detractors will spit that it’s garbage – It’s alright.
Again, melodrama. Doomed love story and way, way, way too overlong.
Kristofferson is fine, Streisand is fine, the songs are good, memorable.
Their chemistry, however, runs hot and cold, and once Kris is gone, the film goes flat.
Midway, I was checking the time, never a good sign.
