Barbra Streisand on TV: "Barbra: With One More Look At You"
Syndicated locally, Feb. 1977

Comprised of concert footage filmed at Arizona's Sun Devil Stadium, scenes from the film, and interviews, this hour-long special publicized Barbra's new movie, A Star Is Born.

Separated into 5 "acts", the special examined one of the Star is Born songs in each act:

•"Evergreen"
•"The Way We Were"
•"The Woman In The Moon"
•"Everything"
•"Watch Closely Now"
•"With One More Look At You"

Fans were treated to studio footage showing Barbra experimenting with different arrangements for the songs. The heavily edited, alternate version of the last song, "Watch Closely Now", was shown on the special (as opposed to the one-take version that ended up in the final film).

The best part of the whole special was seeing Barbra, in glorious voice, entertaining the masses at Sun Devil Stadium.

When Warner Brothers finally released the DVD of A Star is Born in 2006, fans were disappointed when they discovered that this documentary was not included as a bonus item.
