Synopsis Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt star in this lavishly produced classic about the enchanted paradise of Shangri-La where time stands still. Frank Capra's enduring masterpiece, Lost Horizon had a running time of 132 minutes upon its initial release in 1937. For a World War II re-issue, 24 minutes were cut to tone down the films pacifist message. Film preservationist Robert Gitt, working over a period of twenty-five years, has utilized footage found all over the world to restore a number of missing scenes. With extraordinary art direction, the set of Shangri-La is considered the largest ever built in Hollywood - winning designer Stephen Goosson a 1937 Academy Award. Furthermore, the budget for the picture was staggering and cost almost four times the amount of any Columbia film at the time; an equivalent cost of approximately $30-$40 billion today. Lost Horizon is considered an exception among Capra's work for its deviation from his usual upbeat "American" theme - and continues to capture the imagination of the viewing public today.

Customer Review A rare treasure you probably missed along the way. - 4.5 out of 5  (10/20/1999) I just happened to catch a well known film critic recommending this newly restored DVD version on a radio show, and boy am I glad I did. This is a marvelous film. Be warned, it is very old and the restored material is mixed between 16mm and 35mm film. Also, small portions are audio only with freeze-framed pictures to provide a visual partner. All of this is due to the fact that the film was almost lost entirely due to poor storage of the master.
