When a group of passengers survive a plane crash in the Himalayas they end up in the mystical world of Shangri-La, an idyllic oasis where art, culture and the knowledge of the world are treasured. In Shangri-La, the survivors learn about beauty, peace and serenity -- and, for some, true love. Newly remastered.

  • In A World Of Chaos "Lost Horizon" is a flawed but beautiful "Musical Epic"
Already I'm hoping for "Blu Ray" but even without it "Sony/Columbia" is to be congradulated to RESTORING a version never seen of a very unpopular musical. I believe both the story and "some" of the musical numbers makes more sense today and it belongs with "HAIR" as an anti war musical. So this review is for the "RESTORED VERSION" JUST RELEASED. Let go of your cynical views and look at the philosophy behind this film..a "world not in chaos," where "we are responsible for INDIRECT suicide." I was taken away by the beauty of the story and the modern "operetta" score by "Burt Bachrach" and find nothing laughsble in the choreography of the complete "Living Together, Growing Together." This film is a 70's liberal dream. This is a film that hits the "heart" if you let go and allow a very different musical than ever made. I can't think of a film without flaws or suggestions. But having this film "torn apart" seems childish as you will feel when the film ends. The story is eternal. Yes, it doesn't all work. The direction is heavy handed and nothing special but I feel the passion "Ross Hunter" had in making this remake of a film that was NOT a hit when first released. "Peter Finch," "Liv Ullmann," "John Geilgud," and "Charles Boyer" are excellent. And you find yourself involved with both the story and the philosophy. The weakest aspect of the film are the "costumes designed by Jean Louis." Very 70's! But based on this summer's films I simply loved it! I keep thinking this film is now 30 years old and either a remake or stage version could bring the same effect as "Les Miserables." If you are cynical, believe in war, poverty, the lack of care of human life then this is not a film for you ....you must leave your cynical political views alone and watch a film that is very political, but NOT the disaster claimed when first released. This film touched my soul and for that reason alone, after past years of personal tragedy and sadness, makes this a winning experience I look forward to share with others. In this time of global war, where in Third World Countries women are treated as sub humans and death is random this film gave me over 2 hours of beauty and reasons why I must believe that one day our political system will not be corrupt. For my belief in "President Obama" was so high & has turned into another politician I need to believe there are reasons to love this world we live in and this film thanks to "SONY" has allowed me to believe in the future that the "meek WILL inherit" the earth. This is a passive musical that came out during war time. But being in my 50's I simply can't remember a time when there was no war!! The earnestess of the film overrides cynicism. I only wish "Ross Hunter" was alive to see his vision of the film intact. Anyone who degrades this film as just pop philosophy is missing the point I believe "Ross Hunter" hoped for when making this film. The casting is off...not all the music and musical numbers work but strangely the best numbers are the ones that have been restored for they are more of a seriousness nature to them and propel the film forward while other songs just take up time with no real reason. The color and sound as a DVD R is quite beautiful. There is no reason anymore to buy a "pirated version." Give yourself in to the beauty of "Shangri La" and "Lost Horizon." And lastly, this is simply excellent family entertainment. "Sony" gave this a five star treatment for a film forgotten by most as well as put down for someone at "Sony" saw the "beauty" of this film which I strongly recommend. As a "humanist," but also as a lover for films this one will always remain special for it touches my heart. larry r. heller ... show more

  • Excellent Digital Remaster of a Rare Classic Musical
I have been waiting for almost the entire 38 years since Lost Horizon hit the big screen in 1973 for a high quality, complete copy of this musical on either DVD, Laserdisc, or originally VHS; thanks to the fellow film buffs and historians at Columbia Classics, we finally have it. Although as a film buff and collector, I am very tempted to write a glowing review of the musical remake of Lost Horizon, if only to offer an alternate view to the conventional idea by critics that this film was so bad, I will not do that. If you have found your way to this listing, you no doubt already are familiar with this movie musical version, and probably, like I, have seen it either on the silver screen in 1973, or on the rare showing on cable television. Suffice it to say, I liked this musical very much, enjoyed the Burt Bacharach /Hal David music , for the most part, respected and agreed with the film's political stance which was decidedly pro-peace and anti war as Vietnam drew to a close, and enjoyed the varied and all star cast, most of whom had no musical experience. Most of all, this 1973 film takes me back to a good place and time in my life, so for me it was an important film memory. I do want to give great credit to Columbia Pictures Classics, and to the executives and technicians at Columbia who stuck with this film restoration process, which was not easy. This 2011 version is presented in glorious 2:40:1 Panavision anamorphic widescreen format, with colors literally jumping off the screen. The digital artifacts of even the many "lost sections" have been artfully removed, and the overall film has as beautiful a rendering as you could expect on the DVD format. Only a blu-ray, which is unlikely, would be marginally better. Missing film segments, including several musical numbers, were fully restored, and in addition to the picture being digitally remastered by the latest techniques, the sound is remastered in clean Dolby Digital stereo. All 149 minutes of the original feature are present, as are a 36 minute film short from producer Ross Hunter, and other extras not seen previously. As a film buff, a film collector, and in particular an admirer of the American musical format, I appreciate both the good and less than good qualities of the sometime corny film, and uneven quality of the songs, many of which were dubbed. This film is a good representation of the product of Hollywood of the early 1970's in so many ways; in a sense it is a time capsule. The film compares favorably with other great musicals of the period, like Cabaret or Hello Dolly. It is far from the worst musical ever made (Maybe Paint Your Wagon deserves that honor!) After buying several bootlegged unofficial versions of Lost Horizon 1973 from various sites, it is a real joy to have this DVD version added to the collection. The DVD-R lacks nothing in quality when compared to any major studio release, and should play well on any newer DVR. So enthusiastically, I bought two copies, to have a back up. I can absolutely recommend this DVD to anyone who loves musicals or appreciates films of the 1970's, not exactly America's best film decade. Get a copy while you can. ... show more
