Exclusive: George Cukor Retrospective Trailer for ‘A Star is Born’ Starring Judy Garland

George Cukor was one of Hollywood’s most successful and versatile
filmmakers: a master of the musical drama, the screwball comedy, the
domestic thriller, and the literary adaptation–not to mention a
legendary director of actresses, guiding the likes of Greta Garbo,
Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Judy Garland to career-defining
performances. In collaboration with the Locarno Film Festival, New
York’s Film Society of Lincoln Center is presenting a complete
overview–the first in many years in New York–of the director’s
remarkable career.

To drum up anticipation for the series that launches Dec. 13 (go here
for the full lineup), Indiewire has been premiering exclusive
retrospective trailers over the last few days for a number of the films
playing. Today we’re pleased to premiere the final one for his beloved musical “A Star is Born,” playing Dec. 25 and 27 at the Film Society.
