Share the complete print of "A Star Is Born"
The Petition
The petition was mailed on July 30!
It has come to our attention that film producer Michael Arick may have in his personal collection possibly the only remaining complete print of George Cukor's 1954 film A Star Is Born.
Starring Judy Garland and James Mason, the film was cut by 27 minutes shortly after its premiere, and a 1983 restoration was able to uncover only about 22 minutes of the missing footage. It has not been seen in its entirety since its theatrical premiere - Mr. Cukor was so upset by the cuts that he refused to ever watch the shortened version during his lifetime.
If Mr. Arick does indeed have a complete print, we, the undersigned, call on him to donate or loan the print to an appropriate organization, such as Warner Bros. or The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so it can be preserved and finally presented to the millions of fans around the world who have been hoping to someday see this masterpiece in its complete form.
To continue to hide it would be a shame.
