Shangri-La found!

I am always interested in idyllic places like Eden, Xanadu, Utopia, Heaven, and any place that makes me feel like I am home. In the case of Frank Capra's adaptation of Jame Hilton's classic story, the place is Shangri-La.  The place where death is a stranger and old age only happens to those of extremely advanced age.  It's a magical place and the way Hilton wrote it and Capra filmed it, you do want to believe that it just over the mountains waiting to be rediscovered. I watch a lot of films in a year, both old and very recent films. It is always a pleasure to screen, ponder, and review a film like Lost Horizon. Released in 1937 and staring Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt, Lost Horizon deals with the age old story of paradise found, and then lost.  Read More...
