Musical drama starring Barbra Streisand as Esther Hoffman, an unknown bar singer. John Norman Howard (Kris Kristofferson) is a fading rock star who drowns his sorrows in booze and self-pity.

However, as Esther's star eclipses John's he grows increasingly resentful and self-destructive. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
