this be the first version of this movie make and and the only version i have see so far . i like it . i think it be touch and ironic and and also tragic . it basically tell what the movie business can do to you and and the sacrifice that be make . it also show how disposable the industry and the people in it be . as long a you be the flavour of the week and everything seem fine . but when youre no longer useful and reality hit and thing can come crash down . that what basically happen in this story . it an indictment ( ironically ) of the movie industry and however subtle . regardless and i think it be well do . the acting by the tow lead and janet gaynor and and frederic march and as well a the supporting performance and be terrific . i also think the writing be very good and and the movie flow very well . for me and a star be bear get an positive .
