ASIB returns in 1979

A Star is Born was brought back by popular demand in Dallas in December 1979. By that time the film was well past is run in the theaters so this was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately I didn't see it at this theater. Dallas was a long schlep for me and ASIB was only showing for 5 days. By this time I had no choice but to wait patiently for it's eventual airing on network television.

On location with ASIB


From Esther Hoffman's apartment. The angle is a little off because that covered car was blocking my view.

ASIB plate


I don't know much about this collectable. Was it a promo item from the premiere? Was it sold to the public? If anybody has an idea, please let me know.

Star is Born filler


A couple of clippings of "filler" for the movie times page from the paper. These are from later in the film run. The Woodlawn was an old neighborhood theater. The Aztec 3 was a downtown San Antonio movie palace that had seen better days (has since been restored thank goodness). The U.A. Movies 4 was a cracker box theater. The San Pedro was a drive-in.
