Saw it at the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard a day after it came out theatrically in 1973. Those were the days, my friends. 🙂

Doesn't say a lot about Ross Hunter's career if he considers this "the finest movie I've ever produced."

When I saw George Kennedy I thought it was another Airport movie.

Funniest Campiest musical ever seen! This relic belongs in 1950's and 1940's; not in the 1970's.

I´m not sure if this film is horrible, or the seventies were horrible. Maybe both of them.

In this version they turned the milquetoast palaeontologist character (played by Edward Everett Horton in the original) into a third-rate night club entertainer (played by Bobby Van), something for which I will never forgive them. The music is tolerable to good in its own right (kudos to Bacharach and David for doing their best) but, unfortunately, I think this story and a musical format are largely incompatible.

After "Lost Horizon" premiered and the critics panned it, Ross Hunter cut out some of the musical numbers, including a dance portion of "Living Together, Growing Together", and three vocals that were key to the story development of Peter Finch and Liv Ullmann's budding romance, and Finch's subsequent dilemma to stay or leave Shangri La. The songs were "I Come to You" "If I Could Go Back" and "Where Knowledge Ends, Faith Begins". Though both actors were dubbed, they were excellent matches to their talking voices and very believable. Without these numbers, their whole relationship was "gutted". Fortunately they've been restored to the DVD release. The wild dance portion of "Living Together" has also been restored, thought it's something of a "throw-away" and seems a bit out of place at what's supposed to be a sedate monastery!

I must say I can't believe how the critics pounced on this movie. A Good but not great musical and one of the last of it's kind.

I remember seeing this on TV when I was 7 or 8. And all I remember is singing all songs and being so happy watching. 😊📺

I hear that around Hollywood, this film was called "Lost Investment"

I think the meaning of Lost Horizon was important to Ross Hunter and probably Humanity. Probably this was his most valued attempt over simply making money . But communicating the message of Lost Horizon I think is still something that hasn't been fully communicated in this movie version or any other yet. Each version tries to get across what the book wa's about. And each has its good point. I hope people continue to try to capture Lost Horizon

Up until seeing it on Amazon and on here I never knew it was a theatrical release. I only remember it on tv.
