A Star is Born (1954) starring Judy Garland, James Mason

As a band singer guided to heights of show-business success by an alcoholic ex-matinee idol, Judy Garland performs one superb song after another (most by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin) in a production – also starring James Mason and directed by George Cukor – that exhilarates with its craft and style even as it moves toward a heartbreaking finale. Shortened after its 1954 premiere and reconstructed to near its original length in 1983, A Star Is Born endures as one of Hollywood’s supreme triumphs.

Fascinating Rhythm lyrics – as performed in the movie Lady Be Good – (1924) Music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin

Comes in the morning
Without any warning
And hangs around me all day
I’ll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I sayRead More »Fascinating Rhythm lyrics
