Reviewed by (perrybw@perrybw.com) Vote: 8/10/10 Much better than it is generally given credit for, this version of'Lost Horizon' not only had great music and beautiful scenery, but alsosome stunning mountain photography. A special edition laser disc wasreleased some years ago which added more than 30 minutes of previouslydeleted material, extra music, and lots of bonus material. So why isn'tthis on DVD?! Hard to figure the studios out sometimes. Certainly theroles could have been given to people who could sing better than PeterFinch, Liv Ullman, George Kennedy and Sally Kellerman, but what do youwant in a movie, good acting or melodious pipes? Song and dance manBobby Van is great fun, Michael York is a suitably tragic villain, andseeing Sir John Gielgud decked out as Chang may sound silly butactually works very well on screen. Trust me, you need to check thismovie out - if you can find it!

Reviewed by jbdean Vote: 8/10/10 While the songs and dance numbers, in general, aren't as strong as manywould have them be, the film's storyline and message are still there andring out loudly above the simple 70s-style musical numbers. Keeping in mind that this film was made after the Hollywood Musical hadnearly died out (with few exceptions being rock musicals), the audiencesthat went to see it new didn't appreciate the fact that it was a braveattempt at something that hadn't been done to date. Audiences that see ittoday will tend to judge it against the films and musicals of today and,perhaps, the huge all-star casts of musicals gone past.

But to do that tothis film, or any for that matter, is an injustice to the film itself. There are some good musical moments in the film. The first is that of BobbyVan. Van took his role of Harry Lovett just after closing a 2 year Tonynominated (for best actor) run of the Broadway revival, 'No, No, Nanette.' He is a song-and-dance-man from way back and, honestly, the only one in thecast that was truly talented and experienced for musicals. He never missesa step in his 'Question Me An Answer' and rightly so.

He was totally athome as Harry. Other pleasant numbers are done by Olivia Hussey when shewelcomes the new visitors and while the lyrics are weak, James Shigeta showshis strong voice in the 'Family' song, as well as a nicely done staging ofthe full piece. View the film for what it is. A fantasy about a place where you nevergrow old, hidden in the ice and snow covered mountains of Tibet, found by agroup of unsuspecting modern-day people wrapped up in the strife of anymodern culture. Take this and compare it to reality and you get a film thatfalls short of a goal. Take this film for the message of love andpeace and tranquility and brotherly love and you get a warm and refreshingmessage and a positive one at that.

To some this film may seem corny to others a welcomed release from thehectic pace of reality. To the first, try to not judge and just enjoy themessage. To the second, you have discovered the secret ofShangri-La! Reviewed by robertm-12 Vote: 8/10/10 I was 19 or 20, years old at the time and living in Salt Lake City,Utah and I still remember the new dome theater, called the century 21.Layback chairs that rocked and a new sound system, large screen andhuge open space between the screen and the packed theater. We felt allthe excitement of a new preview screening of a film.

Ta da da daa da tada dada dada. I can still hear the opening music ringing trumpet andthe crash of cymbals.

I loved the interplay of characters and thefilmed vistas. I know Peter Finch and Luv and Sally had some troublewith the lip-sink but hey, this was a feel good, go feel better aboutthings film! What I regret is the way they cut the meaningful heart outof it, showed the cut version and then called it a flop. I saw the cutversion and I can see it lost its view of the vision it had in thepreview edition. Yes I wince a bit at Peter's effort to make lovethrough music but, you know I didn't see it that way when I left thetheater.

When they surveyed us as we left I regret any comment I madethat may have altered the original. I liked it then and still see itwhile I listen to the music on my LP. Most of my family has heard mesing much of the sound track and I can use the films monologues in ourgames of 'what movie is this'. I wish a director's cut on DVD wasavailable. It is available on VHS but its not quite the same. I wouldparticularly like a full serious lord of the rings style commentaryabout its origins, struggles and triumphs. Picky people should leavethings well enough alone.

Bring it back!!!! 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. His ambitious brother, George, sees it as a prison from which he must escape, even if it means risking his life and bringing destruction to the ancient culture of Shangri-La.
