In the Judy Garland version, at about the 20 minute mark, in an after-hours LA nightclub, Judy performs the great Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin standard, “The Man That Got Away.”

It is one of the greatest scenes in the history of Hollywood and it’s all you really need to ever know or see of A Star is Born.

“Someday, the rest of us will be forgotten. But never Judy.”
—Frank Sinatra

Sinatra went on to do this song in many of his performances. Camera work here is not good, but recording does show his exquisite phrasing. Some of his better recordings on youtube do not show him actually singing. He did a version with Count Bassie that was incredible.
I was lucky enough to see Sinatra in person in several concerts over the years. He was simply the master at being able to work with the bands to emphasize his superb phrasing.

Out of many, my favorite Garland song ever.
