Cukor's 1954 remake of A Star Is Born (with Judy Garland and James Mason) is out on DVD, with as much footage as they could rescue from the studio's removal-- and subsequent loss-- of important scenes and an entire musical number. Years after the film was made, 22 minutes of the lost footage was recovered and restored. As I understand it, the rest of the film appears on this disc assembled from stills and recovered audio tracks, which is as complete as this butchered masterpiece is going to get.

The new version of A Star Is Born was assembled. Cukor died two days before its grand re-opening at Radio City Music Hall.
