Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

A Star Is Born

After the opening night of A Star Is Born in 1952, Warner Bros. took it out of theaters and cut out 30 minutes of it before sending it back a week later. Director George Cukor's version of the film lost two musical numbers and key scenes between the two main characters. The original director's cut was restored in 1983, but George Cukor passed away the night before it was released.
