LOST HORIZON (1937)
Special Features: 2014 Restored Version
Diplomat Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) and his motley crew of fellow air travelers, skyjacked high above the Himalayas, stumble upon a lost city hidden in a mountain valley. This ambitious adaptation of James Hilton's bestseller was a sharp departure for apostle of Americana Frank Capra, and a gamble for Harry Cohn and Columbia, with the film's $2.6M budget quadrupling their previous high. This newly restored version recovers several minutes missing from the 1985 reconstruction, coming the closest yet to the film’s premiere cut. Seven Oscar® nominations, with wins for Best Editing and Art Decoration. DIR/PROD Frank Capra; SCR Robert Riskin, from a novel by James Hilton. US, 1937, b&w, 132 min, DCP. NOT RATED
