 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.
Consequently, subsequent releases of Lost Horizon on both video and DVD run the entire soundtrack, substituting a combination of deteriorated footage, stills, and publicity photos.

 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.

Similar to what was done with George Cukor's "A Star Is Born", "Lost Horizon" is presented with its complete soundtrack, but missing footage had to be found through other sources, even 16-mm prints recorded from TV broadcasts, and in a few scenes, production stills were sadly the only option to fill in the gaps.

 LOST HORIZON: Awakening the World/A Flame To The Ground Beneath
Unsurprisingly, Lost Horizon was spawned from Gothenburg, Sweden and their direction is focused with one goal in mind-to become that rising force that calls to arms all the faithful followers of Metal to unite for the common cause-Metal forever!
Warrior Metal for all seasons, Lost Horizon embodies the best elements of Manowar, Iron Savior, Hammerfall indeed and inevitably, but also the majestic feel that lends prominence to much of the work of Malmsteen particularly where the classical influence lay within the atonality and subject matter both thematically and lyrically.
In Lost Horizon, you've got four fantasy-driven character actors adorned in barbaric dress amidst a cloudy backdrop who've set their sights on bringing the magic and might of the age-old Metal tradition back to the masses.

 Metal Rules!!:  Interview with LOST HORIZON
We sat down and discussed what we wanted the name to say and we felt that finally Lost Horizon was the name that went very well with the rest of the concept of our band with the lyrics and message and everything that we were about.
Yeah, that's the main ingredients in our music and the message behind Lost Horizon and it is what we stand for in our private lives as well.
Together with the whole concept behind the band it's the way we look upon things, how we look upon the word, how lost we feel that this world has become - the people in it are feeling very lost and depressed and having trouble finding their place in this world.

 Lost Horizon, James Hilton - HarperAcademic
Though most often remembered for its depiction of the mythical paradise of Shangra-La, Lost Horizon can perhaps most fruitfully be read as a probing character study and a fascinating contrast of eastern and western cultures.
The novel tells the story of Hugh Conway, a brilliant, talented, and immensely complex man. Often misunderstood, even by those who most admire him, Conway is seen variously as a hero, a coward, a slacker, a wise man, and a madman.
Once Conway and his companions are taken, against their will, to the Lamasery at Shangra-La, the differences between western and eastern attitudes-and between the curious Conway and the headstrong Mallinson-become immediately and sharply apparent.
