Synopsis

In Hollywood, aspiring actress Vicki Lester’s dreams take flight when she meets fading star Norman Maine. As Vicki’s career soars, Norman battles alcoholism. Despite their marriage, Vicki faces a choice between her rising stardom and caring for her ailing husband.

MUBI's take

So classic that it’s been remade four times, Wellman’s original is still the definitive version, with Old Hollywood as the backdrop for grand romantic tragedy. The early Technicolor glows, and Dorothy Parker, Ben Hecht, and Budd Schulberg all had a hand in writing the Oscar®-nominated script!
