Fifty-five years ago, this movie had a life-altering impact on me. It probably was my first real moment of introspection. I realized that each of us, all of us, seek our own Shangri-la. May each of you find your Shangri-La.
I agree, Mattleemattlee. I've never been a huge Tiomkin fan. While I've liked some of his work, I don't think he ever attained the consistent excellence of Alfred Newman, Max Steiner or Franz Waxman. However, Tiomkin's "Lost Horizon" score really put him on the Hollywood musical map. Capra took a real chance with Dimitri on this film because it needed a large scale great score on the most expensive film Columbia had ever produced up until then. Capra said his backup plan was to borrow Steiner from Warners to conduct the score and that if Tiomkin's work wasn't up to the task, he figured Steiner could jump in at the last minute and save everything. But Capra dropped by the Columbia scoring stage to listen to the score and he was convinced that Tiomkin had captured the essence of the film. It is magical work.
I'm on Cloud 9! Notwithstanding the elegant explanation provided by MovieTitleScreens, I'm so happy to view elegance! I love this production, film, actors, actresses, sets and so on. I'd several of my own similar clips back in the day, but they were "deleted." Such is life! Thanks again MovieTitleScreens! Your upload has added to my life's waning years! Happy for your having posted this! Best regards, varadero
They have no intention of letting this one on TH-cam for free, because it is still very popular and copies of it still sell. Sorry, if you got the impression that this was the entire movie. It is only the opening credits.
I also have an original hardcover edition of this mystically introspective book.....16th printing from 1936. LARGE type font for my wearing old eyes...Guy Lawrence
I, too...loved this film dearly. Disappointed in the greed and arrogance of You Tube for 'removing it because of violation of terms of service'..jeez what does that even MEAN? Wondering what the High Lama would say?
Pellicola molto bella, nulla di eccezionale ma comunque è piacevole da seguire con l' idea di un luogo che è un paradiso in terra, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che si dice che Padre Perrault, un sacerdote belga, si imbatté in Shangri La nel 1734. Il Belgio allora non esisteva e quando fu fondato solo nel 1830, quindi molto bella e molto bella per me come valutazione è 7,5.
This wonderful film has gone through some stages I think now in 2014 it may be a much better experience. Sam Jaffe playing the D'alai Llama Full film is owned by Columbia or was for a long time..John Howard playing Coleman's brother and delightful E E Horton and Thomas Mitchell w H B Warner as Chang. It has some slow spots but it has a superb payoff and nobody was better than Ronald Coleman in films like this ..I was told there was a much much loner version than 132 minutes back in 1937 Capra ( on Cavett show) said so
Tenho certeza de que shangri-la é o além e eles morreram quando o avião ✈ caiu e eles, os passageiros ainda não haviam se dado conta de que haviam morrido. Esse é o meu entendimento do filme.

Possibly the most transcendentally beautiful movie scores ever written. As ethereal and atmospheric as it gets.

I completely agree it’s the BEST🥰
A Tiomkin and Steiner collaboration cannot be beat. Wonderful , Wonderful music.Many of those old movies sure had great musical accompaniment.
Me gustaría verla completa 👍🍀😀

Fantastic Film,, 80 years old - visit to Shangri-La really works!

An epic tale with great and deep meaning. True masterpiece.
I have a copy from 1934 and is one of the best books I have ever read.
I also have an original hardcover edition of this mystically introspective book.....16th printing from 1936. LARGE type font for my wearing old eyes...Guy Lawrence
Its in my library also
I, too...loved this film dearly. Disappointed in the greed and arrogance of You Tube for 'removing it because of violation of terms of service'..jeez what does that even MEAN? Wondering what the High Lama would say?
BEAUTIFUL movie
for my money? one of the finest story's made into a superb movie.
Capra probably the best director of all time.
Ouverture a la pensée spirituelle ce film ne nous laisse pas indifférent1937

I like this movie, but I prefer the 1973 musical remake. The characters are much more developed.
Where can i buy the full 132 minute soundtrack with only seven minutes of scenes missing?
archive.org
Where is the movie? Only some info & the credits & that's about all! So disappointing!
frank Capra knight of Malta
Why does it say FULL Movie when it is only the opening titles?

Tenho certeza de que shangri-la é o além e eles morreram quando o avião ✈ caiu e eles, os passageiros ainda não haviam se dado conta de que haviam morrido.
Esse é o meu entendimento do filme.
