A very hard to find retelling of James Hilton's Utopian lost world encountered by a small group of Europeans who crash in the Himalayas following an escape from war-torn China. Rescued and taken to the mysterious Valley of the Blue Moon, Shangri-La, there they create some of history's most talked-about musical productions accompanied by Bachrach pop music. Unfortunately, the words spoken have been harsh to hideous which redubbed this high-budget enterprise the Lost Investment. Perhaps this is why it has become commercially hidden and itself all but lost.
At its best, the inspired hit songs make it worth the viewing. At its worst, the over-produced, over-directed acting and lack of talent over-deliver expectations of campy entertainment. But to all who grew up in the '70s and saw this film, there is no doubt that it will be a nostalgic treasure in one's library.

Although there's no official DVD release of Lost Horizon, this high quality DVD-R is sourced from a commercial Pioneer Laserdisc that includes high quality remastered sound and video of the film's edited version. Included as well are restored segments that had since only been shown in the film's original theater release. While these inserted lost segments are easily recognized by reduced quality from the film's main body, they are a very enjoyable part of the movie's otherwise unseen legacy. |
