The scene (superimposed over a map) of the DC-3 carrying Indiana Jones to Nepal to meet Marion Ravenwood in 'Raiders' is footage from this LH.
I agree that it's great to have it at all, but if there ARE better audio elements available, I wish they had been used so what we will have is the best it could have been.Originally Posted by Harrison Shinn /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/30#post_3860512
I'm just happy to have this on DVD now after waiting for so long. Sure, it could be better but I'm thankful for what we have and it's a miracle that we have this at all.
Cheers!

Certainly looking forward to you thoughts on the film after all these years and on the DVD-r.Originally Posted by MattH. /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/60#post_3860585
My copy came today (not for review, just a personal copy). DOn't know when I'll get to watch it, my first viewing in almost forty years (I never had the laserdisc). But I'm looking forward to seeing it again to gauge how my reactions as a much older man stack up to what I thought as a young man.
And thank goodness Mr. Rooney was not availableOriginally Posted by GMpasqua /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/60#post_3860630
Of course "racial" casting was not a sign of the times in 1972 and Asians were still portrayed by white English & French actors (though Mickey Rooney was unavailable)
There's a wonderful pre-Lost Horizon anti-war musical: Richard Attenborough's Oh, What a Lovely War!Originally Posted by GMpasqua /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/60#post_3860715
As far as anti-war musicals, I guess you never heard of "Hair"
But what about:Cineramic said:The character of the High Lama is a gentle soul but somewhat radical in his view of mankind as a whole. He has no hope for the world outside of Shangri-La.
"Oh, What a Lovely War" is one of my favorite films the DVD looks pretty good tooOriginally Posted by MattH. /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/60#post_3860723

Great film and one of my favorite's. I was lucky enough to spend time with Richard Attenborough at a Showeast Convention around Jurassic Park time and he was amazed that I had seen Oh, What A Lovely War! and was quite pleased that I considered it a favorite and was very proud of the film.Originally Posted by MattH. /t/315277/lost-horizon-1973-the-complete-version/60#post_3860723

THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE was advertised as being "presented in the grandeur, scope and excitement of 70mm projection and 6 track stereophonic sound" at bothe the National in NYC and the State-Lake in Chicago. Also, the Egyptian in Hollywood and Alexandria in San Francisco also advertised it in 70mm and 6 track stereo throughout both theatres' runs.Your theorys about wstereo are wrong in both films.
When I saw poseidon Adventure in new York whane it opened it was mono there.
