Lost Horizon (1937)

Interesting concept - idealistic but disillusioned diplomat is whisked away (along with those few assorted characters who happen to be on board a rescue plane with him) to a hidden utopia called "Shangri-La." Is it Paradise or a prison?

I hear they cut it to 95 minutes for television broadcasts...the longer version might be worth catching. The over 2-hour cut I saw just kept telling us the same things over and over.
