| | Lost Horizon (1937) |
 | | Lost Horizon (1937) is a timeless, widely-acclaimed classic - a romantic fantasy and science-fiction adventure film, produced and directed by Frank Capra for Columbia Pictures. |
 | | Coming after the disillusionment of the 'Great War,' at the end of the long Depression and during a time of European Fascism and the Spanish Civil War, the escapist, life-affirming (and somewhat naive) film had an enormous impact on viewers - especially its depiction of a remote place where financial worries and wars were non-existent. |
 | | The film was remade as a colorful, big-budget musical - Lost Horizon (1973), with Charles Boyer as the High Lama, Peter Finch as Robert Conway, John Gielgud as Chang, Olivia Hussey as Maria, and Michael York as George Conway, with music by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. |
