Bette was always sooo COOL! They don't make 'em like this one anymore! She was so TINY, but on screen, she was HUGE!

Bette Davis appeared in this film a year after making something of a comeback in "All About Eve" which is ironic since since this film is about a washed up actress clinging to her fame and desperately trying to get back into film. It's high melodrama for sure, but pretty fun for a few reasons. Davis supposedly felt the film was based on rival Joan Crawford, so she sprinkles the film with a few Crawford-isms. You also get Sterling Hayden on a sailboat, which is fun to see since this was a real-life passion of Hayden's. And best of all is a scene were a 40-something Davis does a screen test trying to act like a flirtatious 20 year old, but it's when she sits alone in a screening room and sees her performance that the film goes into high gear melodrama. It's not a very deep film, but it's pretty entertaining.

What's interesting about this movie is that it was first offered to Joan Crawford who turned it down flat. At the same time, "Sudden Fear" was presented to Davis, who didn't like the script. Davis also turned down "Come Back, Little Sheba". Well, guess what? Davis accepted "The Star", Joan accepted "Sudden Fear" and Shirley Booth got the chance to repeat her stage success in "Sheba" and all three got nominated for the Best Actress Oscar in 1952... 'C'mon Oscar, let's you and me go get drunk'--'The Star' gives Bette Davis a chance to tear up the screen as a one-time Hollywood legend who's forced to watch her youth and career slowly fade away... Bette Davis Takes a Bender!!

This is Bette's best movie ever. I love the drunk driving scene with her oscar. Then running from the police on foot.

A tiresome weepie with easily one of the most infuriating lead characters in the history of cinema.
