For Robert, Shangri-La is everything he ever dreamed of -- but his brother wants only to leave... Less

James Hilton's beloved fantasy novel about the land of Shangri-La was given an awkward musical treatment in this extravagantly produced flop. Larry Kramer's screenplay stays close to the 1937 Frank Capra original as a plane fleeing China crashes in the Himalayas and a mixed group of survivors discovers the magical peaceful land of Shangri-La. Here the film becomes a full-fledged musical with songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David illustrating the distant realm's nature and the conflict that happiness causes amongst the survivors. Curiosity- seekers may be intrigued by the film's reputation as a notorious dud but fans of the story would be better served by the classic original despite a cast of well-respected names including Peter Finch in the Ronald Colman role John Gielgud Liv Ullmann and...
