"A Star Is Born" |
Beverly Hills, CA — The 1937 Best Picture nominee "A Star
Is Born" will shine on the silver screen on Monday, August 2, when
the film is featured as the next installment in the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences' "Great To Be Nominated" series. A
restored Technicolor print of the film will screen at 7:30 p.m. in the
Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The Hearst Metrotone Newsreel "Clara Bow Opens Her 'It' Club in
Hollywood" will precede the feature presentation. The Cartoon Short
Subject nominee of 1937, "Little Match Girl," will be shown
during the evening as will "A Night at the Movies," the Oscar®-nominated
One-reel Short Subject of the same year. The trailer for the next film
in the screening series, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," also will
be featured. The Best Song nominee of 1937, "They Can't Take That
Away from Me" as performed by Fred Astaire in the film "Shall
We Dance," and selections from the Oscar-nominated score from the
film "Lost Horizon" will provide the curtain music.
The program's early-bird bonus will be "Sunkist Stars at Palm Springs,"
a short film featuring Johnny Weissmuller, Betty Grable and Buster Keaton
enjoying the desert vacation spot.
