1954 HITS ARCHIVE: The Man That Got Away - Judy Garland

The Man That Got Away (Arlen-Gershwin) by Judy Garland, taken from the original movie soundtrack with orchestra conducted by Ray Heindorf Losing the ‘Best Original Song’ Oscar to the popular favorite “Three Coins In The Fountain,” this expertly-crafted number by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin is still thought by many to have been the more deserving choice (likewise Judy Garland over Grace Kelly for Best that’s another story). The film was the 1954 remake of “A Star Is Born,” with James Mason and Judy updating the 1937 roles of Fredric March and Janet Gaynor. Third time in 1976 would pair Streisand & Kristofferson in a rock music setting, and the fourth in 2018 with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
