I have loved this film and the James Hilton fresh upon which it is based since I was a child. “Lost Horizon” is one of the truly astronomical moviegoing experiences. I mediate we all want to absorb in Shangri-La, a paradise which brings out the best in mortals, offering a chance of redemption.
The film has a substantial cast: Ronald Colman (what a declare!), glowing Jane Wyatt, Thomas Mitchell, H.B. Warner, Edward Everett Horton, Sam Jaffe and the almost forgotten (but very pleasant) Isabel Jewell – she also appeared with Colman in “A Story of Two Cities.”
The area compose has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Shangri-La is a prime example of Art Deco at it’s most handsome.

The film, as it exists today, is a bit like Frankenstein’s monster, stitched together from a wide variety of sources, some of them in better condition than others. The narrative of the quarter-century restoration of the film is a exciting example of the dedication to contemplate a project through to it’s completion.
The only complaint I have about the film, and it’s a minor one, is about the number of expository sequences in the film. It seems that one character or another is always talking about what has gone on or what is going on. H.B. Warner’s character, in particular, seems to exist for the most fraction to elaborate the backstory of Shangri-La. But that’s, as I said, a minor complaint. This is a profitable motion recount.
LOST HORIZON is a very special and very philosophical movie based on the James Hilton new. The movie makes a few changes from the book, but in many ways the film actually improves on the modern, not the least of which is having the grand Ronald Colman flesh out the portion of Robert Conway. It’s not Colman’s most memorable performance (eye Sage OF TWO CITIES for that) but he wears the portion like a comfortable suit. Supporting him are some other mammoth players like Edward Everett Horton, Thomas Mitchell, Sam Jaffe and Isabel Jewell to name a few. What would YOUR reaction be when you sight that the commandeered airplane that took you to a mysterious, shapely land in the middle of the frigid Himalayas was not an accident, but a notion? 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 look. The film itself has gone through many difficult years, and the painstaking reconstruction (sometimes down to composed frames with audio) receives a attractive presentation on DVD. It’s the restoration and the extras that do the disc worth viewing. A brief portion shows how some frames were restored, and we accept to look some rare pristine footage of the funeral procession. A great feature commentary and documentary are also included. Overall, then, it’s a dazzling film and a pretty DVD supplying stunning extras. What’s not shapely? Well, it’s only gorgeous to comment on the extremely variable quality of the image (as I said, it’s a combination of several decent prints, some 16mm prints and the occasional still-frame portion) . That’s not the fault of Columbia, as it is most likely the best they could do. But upon comparison to my VHS tape of the restored film, I was surprised to explore that the quality is only *slightly* better, not dramatically better. That’s why I say in all fairness that it’s really the extras that design it worthwhile, but that’s coming from someone who already had a video copy of the restored film in his collection. If you’ve never seen the film, I recommend it unreservedly.
