A "Lost Horizon" Fifth Rate Copy. Frank Capra will be spinning in his grave.

I hate films like this. The producers must look through the top ten list of the all-time greatest films, pick one, and then decide to make a cheap copy.

Shame on Nigel Havers for taking part in this. He's a well known British TV actor and small time film actor. I guess he thought this would be a great film like the original "Lost Horizon" (1937) by Frank Capra.

Maybe Havers should've investigated the director's previous efforts. The current IMDb page for Jorge Montesi lists a huge number of second and third rate TV programmes and TV films directed by him.

As another reviewer said, this film was certainly a "Lost Opportunity". The goods news is, it was made 6 years after Frank Capra's death, so he couldn't have seen it.

RIP Frank.

Unutterably and hilariously bad

God, this would be a festival for MST3K. It is, as others have written, a complete knockoff of "Lost Horizon". Pompous, self-righteous, feminist and multicultural, wooden, hilarious, embarrassing, a hoot. I can't go on. I'm howling with laughter. (I tried to end my review, but you have to write ten lines minimum to be accepted!). People are all equal here, no one is more important than anyone else, everything is beautiful in its own way (Cotter Smith, for example) and they speak with the ghostly and sombre tones of the Truly Enlightened And They Know It. Are my ten lines up yet? God, I hope so. If Western civilization falls any time soon, it will be because of stuff like this movie!

A "Lost Horizon" knock-off

What can I say this is a "Lost Horizon" wantabe. The characters are all unknown hallmark level actors. The background music is that of a cheap romantic novel strain. The dialog is stilted and the story flow is jerky. Many things are missing or poorly expressed. If you have not seen "Lost Horizon" you will actually be lost in this slow pace and not well thought-out politically correct filler.

A woman of great passion and negotiating skill is kidnapped along with her ex and a man with a dubious background. She must eventually find the secret of this mysterious valley and here purpose.

One day couch potatoes with live peacefully with killer tomatoes. But my responsibility lies with the outside world.

There is a theory that those that live in Dublin Texas and drink Dr. Pepper with Pure Cain Sugar can never leave.

Worth watching only if you are very busy.

Not a bad movie but it was not a very good either. Beautiful scenes and backgrounds but the special effects were like a 1970's movie. The story had potential but wasn't creative enough. This script would have been great in 1950s. Bottom line a little dated movie with a decent cast but it's a shame that they didn't do more with the time and money spent to create this picture. Susan Dey is still an attractive lady well into her 40s and 50s. It was nice to see Ms. Tyson, she is still a striking screen presence, especially with the Guardian hairdo. The premise of this ancient city reminds me of The Phantom comic strip. A hidden paradise in the bowels of Africa. I wonder sometimes how money producers are able to convince investors to put up the money for such mediocre films. The kind of movie to watch when there is not much else on.
