It is considered the first film shot in Technicolor that pleased both critics and audiences. Before the release of "A Star is Born" and "Nothing Sacred" (William A. Wellman, 1937), color films used such garish colors that they caused migraines (according to several film critics). Here, producer David O. Selznick (1902-1965) insisted on muted and therefore more realistic colors. It is believed that the success of these two films made possible the appearance of a masterpiece in Technicolor—Victor Fleming’s melodrama "Gone with the Wind" (1939).
Producer David O. Selznick initially rejected the script because films about Hollywood generally failed at the box office. He was convinced to take on the story by his wife, Irene Mayer Selznick.
