a a film buff and i obviously have read all the excruciate review and funny and sarcastic comment about this film ( my favourite be woody allen quip if i have my life to live over again i wouldn not change anything . except for see the musical remake of lose horizon ) . therefore i have never be able to watch it without smirk at the choreography or set or song etc . just recently i come across a widescreen dvd and watch it for the first time in year and along with a friend who have never hear of the film reputation . he really enjoy it and and after try to block out all the negative prejudice i obviously have about the film so do i. there be nothing especially bad about lose horizon and and it be far more enjoyable and watchable than many other early 1970 movie . it isn not even especially camp . the lyric to some of the song be rather repetitive and simplistic and but this isn not really apparent when hear them for the first time or have the flaw point out in advance so you be ready to scoff at them . a for all the reviewer who claim the cast can not sing in tune and this criticism fall apart since liv ullmann and olivia hussey and peter finch be dub ( brilliantly too and a the vocal match their speaking voice perfectly ) and and sally kellerman have a really lovely and totally unique singing style . vocally and kellerman duet with olivia hussey on the thing i will not miss be excellent . special mention should be make of the legendary hollywood star charles boyer brilliant performance a the high lama and his comment about mankind destroy itself be chillingly apt to today fracture world . i wouldn not claim for a second that lose horizon be a masterpiece ( the thing i wouldn not miss about it be the uninspired choreography and and bobby van question me an answer number and which could easily have be cut ) and but if you haven not even see lose horizon and or haven not see it for some time and try watch without that oh boy and let have a laugh at this pile of junk attitude and and you will be surprise at how enjoyable it actually be .
