I miss seeing Robert Osborne introducing movies on TCM. No one has or can replace him. Lost Horizons is one of the greatest movies ever made. I made a music video with scenes from this movies and scenes from other sources that try to capture the essence of this movie. The 1946 version of the Razor's Edge, in a very rough way, has a similar idea but one in which the main character is in search for his psychological Shangri-la. He finds it in India. He is told he must leave the place that he would consider his Shangri-la because he has found what Shangri-la is, a state of mind and not a specific place. It is akin to: God is not in a building but everywhere if God is in your Heart.
Glad you enjoyed the movie. I hope you had the opportunity to see my "photo documentary," that I wrote and narrated, that appears on both the DVD and digibook Blu-Ray...Indeed, "Lost Horizon" and "The Razor's Edge, at their core, have a similar message about living an authentic life...They also reflect the malaise felt by the "Lost Generation": spiritually alienated searchers and seekers of a greater truth and meaning to existence....
@@myguitardetective5961 I could not find your "photo documentary. I went to your TH-cam channel only to see your guitar videos. I too am a fan of Gordon Lightfoot. I will be going to one of his concerts in CT in the Spring. I saw him many decades ago in concert in the Shakespeare Theatre in CT.

Robert gave a great account of the making of "Lost Horizon," but he failed to mention one gaffe by Columbia. When the film was having its sneak preview in Santa Barbara, the studio planned to show it right after a wonderful crazy screwball comedy Columbia had produced that year, "Theodora Goes Wild." In addition to showing a three-hour movie AFTER another film on a double bill, the ambiance simply wasn't there.
Osborne, of course, was his usual good self. That this film was, essentially, butchered and left to rot, is one of Hollywood's most terrible mistakes. Also note the score, with future Oscar-winner Dimitri Tiomkin writing and Oscar-winner Max Steiner conducting.
George Kennedy, who appeared in the 1973 remake, thought the remake was simply dreadful.. (moviegoers and the critics concurred with that assessment: it was box-office poison...) . He was always apologizing for it: he referred to the movie as "Lost Investment"....

Robert Osborne was very close friends with Olivia de Havilland, what a treasure he was, miss him on TCM
'Lost Horizon' is a cinematic gem.
NOW 85 I STILL CONSIDER ROBERT AN OLD FRIEND...HIS CRITIQUES WERE ALWAYS ACCURATE & APPRECIATED...
R.I.P robert and lost horizon a great movie too
I feel in love with this movie
who would believe the absolute wonder of this double feature - heaven on television !
Amazing movie, also a very daunting atmosphere. The book is a bit lighter.

Fantastic movie
To seek the sacred river Alph. To walk the caves of ice. To break my fast on honeydew. And drink the milk of Paradise ...
I wish l would live in the lost horizon.
You can.
It's up to you and me. Let's do it.
Many miss it
It wasn’t Margo in the movie it was Nazimova
GREAT MOVIE ! miss this show on TV

the musical version is not my favorite
It's a kind of technicolor horror.
They called it "Brigadoon with Chopsticks".
The first half-hour is good, but when they get to Shangri-la it ain't as good.
The remake is better
CS Carson That's probably because you haven't seen a decent print. Brought tears to my eyes.
