Drunken, has-been rock star John Norman Howard falls in love with unknown singer Esther Hoffman after seeing her perform at a club. He lets her sing a few songs at one of his shows and she becomes the talk of the music industry. Esther's star begins to rise, while John's continues to fall. She tries desperately to get John to sober up and focus on his music, but it may be too late to save him.

What a muddled, beautiful mess. And the music, blah. Should’ve left it at the Judy Garland version; now _that_, is a terrific movie!

A good movie with 2 talented vocalists. Unfortunately I had to mute the songs but the movie was good

I liked the singing, but the acting and chemistry was pretty bad. The film is a bit on the longer side, and it starts to drag in the middle.

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.

_**Well done 70’s rock lifestyle film, but needs better songs**_

A big time rock star is self-destructing on the lifestyle (Kris Kristofferson) when he inadvertently meets a talented smalltime singer (Barbra Streisand) and becomes her “golden connection” to stardom. Gary Busey is on hand as More

If you are a fan of Barbra Streisand then you will enjoy this third iteration of the classic rags-to-riches story. In this version, Kris Kristofferson is the coke-fuelled rock star whose career seems to be very much on the wain after a series of bad reviews and bad behaviour... One night he stumbles More
