I agree with Precious. The Lost Horizon musical is so bad it's good. Charles Boyer as the High Lama and John Gielgud as Chang actually deliver good performances, but they're lucky, they don't have to sing or mouth any of the cheesy, if catchy, songs. Sally Kellerman, Bobby Van and James Shigeta were the only ones who actually did their own singing. Peter Finch, Liv Ullmann, Olivia Hussey and the others were dubbed.

Without a doubt the worst choreography i have ever seen in a film. A dreadful experience and i didn't even watch the whole film. How were Albert Finney, Liv Ullmann, John Gielgud and even Hussey and York convinced to be involved with such a trainwreck?
Money no doubt. Though not Finney as he is not in it.
Lost Horizon is so bad it's good. In particular 'The World is a Circle' number.
Love Bette Midler's line on Liv Ullmann in this. 'I never miss a Liv Ullmann musical!'.

Moving and touching...
Farmiga and the boy are great!
I liked this film a lot, too. I was a bit disappointed with the ending though. I thought it was a bit too much.
And by the way

Yes, the stairway tracking shot is amazing, as is the legendary taxicab/Miracle of the Marne sequence.Big Magilla wrote:It's not just any stairway shot.

Young love blooms in the sewers of Paris, then World War I comes along. A bit silly and sentimental at times, but marvelously done.
