    Writer and director William Wellman couldn't get along with lead Janet Gaynor and tried to walk-out the set of this film, only to be thwarted by MGM; a good thing for the film. Nobody else could have pulled off wide-eyed Hollywood hopeful Vicki quite like Gaynor, and without Wellman's concise directing "A Star Is Born" wouldn't have been the same. The film captures the hope and possibilities Hollywood holds for young aspiring actors, and also the desperation to stay on top once they've made it. A tragic love story and spectacular look into the film industry - with many scenes actually taken from real experiences by various Hollywood insiders.
