i recently purchase lose horizon on ebay and have vivid memory of the thing i will not miss number from childhood ( i be an ancient 29 ) . i also recently finish the novel upon which it be base . i be so pleasantly surprise to find a genuine hidden treasure . a wonderful cast brings such warmth and depth to a beautifully simple and elegantly tell story and subtly update from the original film ( and by now quite a separate entity to the far more intellectual and think provoke book by james hilton ) . sally kellerman in particular have a radiant presence a the suicidal neurotic sally hughes and who gradually warm to the charm of shangri la . only liv ullmann flounder in her wooden portrayal of the schoolteacher ( a role far more suited to a julie andrew type . the fact that finch and ullmann and hussey be all dub isn not important a it be almost impossible to tell . the song do vary in quality and the music be far superior to the lyric but it be still a vibrant and engrossing film that really deserve a proper dvd release and a lot more recognition .
