LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1954 musical drama, “A Star Is Born,” starring Judy Garland and James Mason, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, June 11, at 1 and 6 p.m.

Entry to the film is by donation.

Directed by George Cukor with score by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin, this is a film of grand scope and intimate moments, featuring what most critics believe to be Garland's greatest performance.

It’s a dark, weighty fable of the price one pays to be at the top, a theme that is given ironic significance by what would become Garland’s own real life experiences.

The film was nominated for six Academy Awards.

The movie is sponsored by Classic Film Fans. Rated PG. Run time is 2 hours and 55 minutes.

The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com .
