LOST HORIZON [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1937
• Genre: Adventure
• Plot: 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' (based on the best-selling novel by James Hilton) 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™ ('LOST HORIZON' won two Oscars®: Art Direction-Set Direction and Film Editing). 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 million 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.
