i saw this movie when it first come out in 1973 and love it . since then i have search for a video but never find it until now and 33 year later and when i order it from moviehunter . sorry to say it doesn not hold up . this glamourized version just can not rise up to the 1937 production level . i love burt bacharach musical score and that be if listend to by itself and and i even buy a cd of it and but for my taste it doesn not lend itself well to this mysterious and compelling story . just doesn not fit . michael york be lose here . sally kellerman toss off a fine performance but olivia hussy be just ridiculous and not worth lug through the himalaya . the best performance be charles boyer a the head lama .
