Based on the classic James Hilton novel, with an all-star, award-winning cast, Lost Horizon is the ambitious musical remake of the Frank Capra classic. When a group of passengers survive a plane crash in the Himalayas they end up in the mystical world of Shangri-La, an idyllic oasis where art, culture and the knowledge of the world are treasured. In Shangri-La, the survivors learn about beauty, peace and serenity – and, for some, true love.

...A farce, a farrago, and a disaster, Lost Horizon has the reputation of a complete turkey, and even the most revisionist viewer can only reach the same conclusion; this ain't no Shangri La....

The musical aspects are the most disastrous because the cast is a first-rate one in straight performance.

Shane Burridge

At the moment the characters descend into the valley of Shangri-La, the film, in unconscious critical mimicry, goes downhill

Roger Ebert

The material is so slight it can hardly bear the weight of music, and it sinks altogether during a series of the most incompetent and clumsy dance numbers I've ever seen.

The conjunction of truth and lies hardly seems accidental in a film that sets out to recall a kind of filmmaking now lost, but succeeds only in denting pleasant memories.
