Lost Horizon
directed by: Frank Capra
Columbia, 1937
British diplomat Robert Conway and a small group crash land in the Himalayas, and are rescued by the people of the mysterious, valley of Shangri-la. Protected by the mountains from the world outside, Shangri-la provides a seductive escape for the world-weary Conway. Conway loves the place while his brother does nothing but plan for his escape. Residents of the valley grow old at an extremely slow pace so that one's life seems endless. When Conway asks Chang if the people in Shangra-la are happy he replies that the inhabitants are ruled by moderation. Another Colman classic that has been recently restored to include the soundtrack from scenes which were cut from the original release and no longer exist.
