Part of Film series The Method on Film
Directed by Jean Negulesco | 1946

With Joan Crawford, John Garfield, Oscar Levant

Heartthrob John Garfield, an original member of the formative Group Theatre and the first Method actor to find success in Hollywood, plays against tormented tough guy type as Paul Boray, a gifted classical musician from a poor immigrant family. His luck turns when he meets Helen Wright (Crawford), a wealthy and connected arts patron who takes Paul under her wing. As she helps to open professional doors for him, their relationship turns romantic. Can it withstand the pressures of artistic success? This gender-flipped A Star is Born delights in its clash between Method and old-school Studio Star acting styles and features a scene-stealing Oscar Levant in a brilliant supporting turn as Paul’s musical partner and quick-witted wingman.
