James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon proposes a perfect hidden community within the uncharted Himalayas, a land where peace reigns and the inhabitants live for hundreds of years. So indelible is this mythical land that its name has entered the culture: Shangri-La. Director Frank Capra, riding high during his mid-'30s hot streak, spared no expense in creating Hilton's paradise onscreen, taxing the coffers of Columbia Pictures and the patience of mogul Harry Cohn. The results, however, are magical: shimmering, seductive, and maybe a bit foolish, truly the creation of an idealist (understandably, the spectacular art direction won an Oscar). And Capra's hero is an idealist, too. Ronald Colman, at his most marvelously elocutionary, plays a wise diplomat whose plane crashes in the snows of Tibet. He and the other survivors are guided to Shangri-La, where they wrestle with the invitation to stay. The young Jane Wyatt plays Colman's love interest, but leaving a more lasting impression are H.B. Warner, as the benevolent Chang, and Sam Jaffe, in great old-age makeup, as the wizened High Lama. This version has been restored as closely as possible to Capra's original cut; the film had circulated for many years in a trimmed form. Lost Horizon was remade, notoriously and hilariously, as a big-budget musical in 1973; it was a complete flop. --Robert Horton

I only wish that one of the deleted scenes included in the "extras" on this DVD had made it into the final print. It is a scene between the two female characters who unfortunately don't have an exchange in the released film. It would have made a great film better.

Lost Horizon is the most beautiful movie I have seen. It starts off with the characters boarding a plane to flee an uprising in China. Their pilot lands somewhere without their permission to provide supplies to some militants. They take off again and I can't remember what happens next but somehow their plane crashes in the Himalayas. At the crash site they are greeted by Tibetans and are led to a place high up in the mountains called Shangrila. Shangrila is a dreamlike paradise where people age extremely ... Read More
