	DVDFILE.COM: Lost Horizon (1937) review
		Lost Horizon was recommended to me a good 7 or 8 years back and I rented the VHS tape (remember those?) one day while I was home sick.
		Lost horizon is fl and white and is presented as it was shown theatrically in 1937, in full frame.
		Lost Horizon is presented in 2.0 mono (the same signal in both speakers with no stereo separation.) The key thing is that dialog is clean and intelligible, which it is. The audio on the whole is not as variable in quality as the video, making for a fine presentation.

	Lost Horizon (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lost Horizon is a 1937 film directed by Frank Capra starring Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt and Sam Jaffe.
		Artistically, Lost Horizon evokes many of the themes associated with Capra as an auteur but is somewhat darker and at times, cynical, as with much of his early work.
		Subsequent releases of Lost Horizon on both video and DVD present a restored version that is close as possible to the original theatrical release.

	Review of Lost Horizon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lost Horizon was a bestselling book upon publication in 1933, and this movie adaptation was a prestige picture of the highest order.
		Lost Horizon is somewhat of an anomaly in his career, and due to various revisions and cuts, was never seen in its intended form until recently and even now some footage has been lost (see my DVD Note at the end of this review).
		Lost Horizon is the story of the discovery of Shangri-La. A group of Americans survive a plane crash in the Himalayas, only to discover the reclusive land that has become a cliché: a paradise hidden away in the mountains.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- LOST HORIZON
		Released in 1937, before there were such things as television, home video or DVD, LOST HORIZON was not well preserved because the studios didn’t see much shelf life for their films beyond their initial release.
		Not only was LOST HORIZON not well preserved by Columbia Pictures, the film was repeatedly cut down from its 132 minute running time for various releases, with 25 minutes of excised footage finally being lost by the studio.
		LOST HORIZON is based upon the novel James Hilton and tells the story of a British diplomat named Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) who finds himself on a hijacked plane after helping his fellow Europeans escape from a volatile situation in a war torn Asian province.

	Frank Capra's Lost Horizon
		For this reason, Lost Horizon is an important film, regardless of its clunky narrative and stagey situations (some of which can be blamed on the usual studio politics which led to editing compromises), as it clearly defines the gospel of social moderation that most Americans believed in.
		For Conway, the deja vu is a passage of Chopin in the piano lounge of the S.S. Manchuria.
		As a drama, Lost Horizon relies on many of the conventions and cliches of the period: a man of action (Conway), a fugitive swindler (Barnard), a terminal cynic (Gloria), a buffoon (Lovett), an impulsive young man (George), a femme fatale (Sondra)...

	Lost Horizon (1937)

	Review of James Hilton's Lost Horizon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		James Hilton wrote Lost Horizon in 1933, and it was an immediate success, selling millions of copies, influencing President Roosevelt to name what's now Camp David Shangri-La, and Frank Capra, a hot director after an Oscar sweep with It Happened One Night in 1934, made a movie of Lost Horizon in 1937.
		The story of Lost Horizon is simple: a group of travellers are stranded in the Himalayas and they encounter a remote monastery named Shangri-La and the wonderful people who live there.
		Doyle's The Lost World is one of the most famous examples of this genre, and it has the most apropos name; another good example would be James de Mille's A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder.

	Lost Horizon (1937)
		Orphaned after her explorer-parents died during a lost expedition in the "wild country beyond the pass," Sondra describes how she was found by Chang and brought up by Father Perrault himself.
		Beyond that, my vision weakens but I see at a great distance a new world stirring in the ruins, stirring clumsily but in hopefulness, seeking its lost and legendary treasures, and they will all be here, my son, hidden behind the mountains in the Valley of the Blue Moon, preserved as by a miracle.
		When Chang and Sondra spot Robert's departure, he assures her: "But he will return." At the gateway to the world, Robert looks back, in a closeup image, for one last tearful and anguished view of the paradise refuge - it is one of the film's most memorable and powerful moments.

		Lost Horizon was remade, notoriously and hilariously, as a big-budget musical in 1973; it was a complete flop.
		LOST HORIZON is a very special and very philosophical movie based on the James Hilton novel.
		The lost world of Shangri-La is something different to everyone, and it's not always a land of bliss and happiness as you'll see.

	Lost Horizon
		Adapted from James Hilton's award-winning novel Lost Horizon, the film poses many fascinating and intriguing concepts of an utopia where time flows slowly and the inhabitants live in suspended beauty and happiness.
		This conflict arises from the fact that the film was almost lost due to deterioration and it took many years of exhuastive efforts to restore this classic that we can now experience.
		Lost Horizon is a treasure for film buffs, and with the supplemental materials, the DVD makes for a wonderful experience.

	Lost Horizon (1937)
		Refugees from the Chinese revolution flee into the Tibetan Himalayas and discover the valley of Shangri-La. The strangers must learn to coexist with the natives, who have lived for hundreds of years with kindness and in peace.
		The film's original 1937 release ran two hours and 12 minutes but was trimmed for a World War II re-issue by 24 minutes, most of that footage now lost.
		Lost Horizon tells the story of Robert Conway (Ronald Colman), "England's Man of the East" as the film calls him, and his discovery of the utopian paradise, Shangri-La. During a "Chinese revolution," Conway, along with British subjects he was helping escape by plane, is kidnapped and flown into the high Himalayas.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of James Hilton's Good-Bye, Mr. Chips
		The year I was 12, the movie was a remake of Lost Horizon--my most graphic memory from that night is my horror when the woman suddenly aged after leaving Shangri-La. As it turns out, that version of the movie is pretty dreadful, while Frank Capra's 1937 original is widely considered to be a classic.
		In Lost Horizon, Hugh Conway, a British diplomat, is skyjacked and he and his traveling companions end up in the Himalayas.
		Eventually they are lead to the hidden Valley of the Blue Moon and the city of Shangri-La, where folks do not age and the powers that be are collecting all of the world's knowledge and greatest artworks, so that it will be safe from the turbulent political storms of the outside world.

	DVD Breakdown \| The Movie Lover's DVD Site
		Lost Horizon was his most ambitious effort, a utopian fable only imaginable in the frightened years before the horrors WWII would bring.
		It was never a huge hit, its enormous budget even brought Columbia to the brink of bankruptcy, and it was cut several times for subsequent re-releases.
		At first I thought this would be overly distracting, but it proved to be a surprisingly effective solution, especially as these lost scenes add a great deal to the film.

	City of the Angels Film Festival - Lost Horizon
		Frank Capra’s production of James Hilton’s popular novel Lost Horizon offers a utopian vision that is only fully comprehensible in the context of the period between the two world wars.
		It is difficult for later generations to understand the depth of horror and sense of tragedy felt by survivors of the first ‘great war’ of the Twentieth Century even as they contemplated the possibility of another such conflict.
		Yet Hitler had come to power by 1933, the year the book was published, and by the time of the film’s release in 1937, the brutal Spanish Civil War had emerged as a prologue to the unthinkable but inevitable conflagration to come.

		Frank Capra's 1937 Lost Horizon makes for a fascinating DVD, one of the best yet to come from Columbia TriStar, but it's hard to lavish as much praise on the film itself.
		Capra was always a controversial director who often traded substance for sentiment, and Lost Horizon is a flawed gem.
		Lost Horizon is a gorgeous thing to behold, but taken as a whole it's inferior to many excellent films that Capra made for a lot less money, such as It Happened One Night and Mr.

	DVD Review - Lost Horizon
		Soon after, the studio removed some 25 minutes of footage, and altered versions of the film (in various shorter lengths) were released over the years.
		It also includes a look at the altered World War II introduction to the film, a glimpse at the only surviving stock footage from the original camera negative (it looks gorgeous) and deleted scenes (with Gitt reading from the shooting script, as no audio exists).
		The film's alternate ending is also presented, which hasn't been seen by audiences since it was originally shown in 1937.

	Lost Horizon (1937)
		Frank Capra's enduring masterpiece, Lost Horizon had a running time of 132 minutes upon its initial release in 1937.
		Furthermore, the budget for the picture was staggering and cost almost four times the amount of any Columbia film at the time; an equivalent cost of approximately $30-$40 billion today.
		Lost Horizon is considered an exception among Capra's work for its deviation from his usual upbeat "American" theme - and continues to capture the imagination of the viewing public today.

		It seems almost inconceivable that a film as great as Lost Horizon would be nearly lost to the ravages of age and studio neglect.
		That quibble aside, this edition of Lost Horizon is one of the most rewarding DVDs of any classic Hollywood film.
		Although several of Frank Capra's other films have achieved a higher profile, Lost Horizon just gets better as the years go by, and with its wealth of supplemental features, this DVD is a definitive archival tribute.

	Lost Horizon and Shangri-la
		Lost Horizon is one of those movies that can aspire any person to open their mind and welcome the possibilities of all things strange.
		This one is a "lavishly-produced classic about the enchanted paradise of Shangri-La where time stands still." They say that the set was supposedly the largest ever to be constructed in Hollywood and that it cost the modern-day equivalent of "$30-$40 million."
		The Frank Capra adapation of James Hilton's popular novel, Lost Horizon, was somewhat controversial in its day, not polticality but because of its length (several reels were removed after a disasterous preview), and its production design, which many critics found unattractive.

	The movie "Lost Horizon"
		This retelling of the classic tale of James Hilton's Utopian lost world plays out uneasily amid musical production numbers and Bacharach pop music.
		While escaping war-torn China, a group of Europeans crash in the Himalayas, where they are rescued and taken to the mysterious Valley of the Blue Moon, Shangri-La. Hidden from the rest of the world, Shangri-La is a haven of peace and tranquility for world-weary diplomat Richard Conway.
		1937 film scene-for-scene, and everything's fine; then we get to Shangri-La and awful Burt Bacharach-Hal David songs, and it falls apart."Lost" is right.
