Post Description

Voor de liefhebbers van Barbara Streisand en dan vooral haar muziek, de film was een kaskraker

Talented rock star John Norman Howard has seen his career begin to decline. Too many years of concerts and managers and life
on the road have made him cynical and the monotony has taken its toll. Then he meets the innocent, pure and very talented 
singer Esther Hoffman. As one of his songs in the movie says "I'm gonna take you girl, I'm gonna show you how." 
And he does. He shows Esther the way to stardom while forsaking his own career. As they fall in love, her success only makes
his decline even more apparent.
