Review of A Star Is Born

This was the A STAR IS BORN I knew, released in 1976. It was the third of four (1937, 1954, 1976 and, now, 2018). I'm pretty sure I had the soundtrack on repeat, the songs still stir memories of my college years. Streisand vocals are spectacular. Kris Kristofferson was beautiful. This version made a complete contextual leap from Movie Star to Rock Star. It garnered 4 Oscar nominations, all for music and sound, and won for Best Song. Now, rewatching it, I see it had some rough spots, in terms of acting and writing, but I'll still go with a rating that harkens back to my first experience of it, making it a 7.5 (sweet good) out of 10. {Drama, Music, Romance}
