A Star is Born

There have been four film versions of A Star is Born, starting with the non-musical 1937 drama, followed every 20 years or so by a musical version. How do they rank? In my opinion, there is no question that the 1954 film directed by George Cukor, with near-perfect performances by Judy Garland and James Mason, is by far the best. You may disagree, but wait until after we examine all the fascinating details of this film's stars and stories to make that decision. There's music, romance, heartbreak and some Hollywood magic involved in this one!

  • The ancient Greek plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides laid the intellectual and artistic groundwork of Western literature. They shaped the genre of tragedy, deepened character psychology, explored universal ethical questions, and established drama as a form through which societies could examine themselves—a legacy that continues to guide writers and thinkers to this day. In this course, we will be reading the most celebrated works of each author: Agamemnon by Aeschylus, Oedipus the King and Antigone by Sophocles and The Medea by Euripides. Emphasis will be placed on close reading and the pleasures of grappling with the moral questions raised by these great works of drama.
