i be disappoint with many aspect of a star be bear . the restored version of the film be more than an hour too long . there be so many draw out scene and musical number that any tension between the character be completely dissipate by the time we come to the tragic end . the two great scene judy garland night club performance of the man that get away and her song and dance routine in her living room use a lamp shade a a chinese hat do not make up for all of the other overly long and unnecessary ( as far a the plot or the character development be concern ) musical number . this be a showcase for garland considerable musical talent and it be not a well scripted movie . it ashame because james mason be terrific in his scene .
