Next - Lost Horizon - Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt star in this lavishly-produced classic about the enchanted paradise of Shangri-La where time stands still. After nearly 50 years, Frank Capra's timeless masterpiece, Lost Horizon (based on the best-selling novel by James Hilton) was restored to its original length of 132 minutes in 1986. The film, which was widely circulated among the armed services during World War II, was cut 22 minutes after its initial release in 1937 to reflect the wartime perception of the Chinese, and to tone down the film's pacifism. Film historian Robert Gitt conducted nearly 13 years of detective work tracking down the lost footage. With extraordinary direction, the set of Shangri-La is considered the largest ever built in Hollywood, winning designer Stephan Goosson an Academy Award (Lost Horizon won two 1937 Academy Awards: Art Direction-Set Design and Film Editing). Furthermore, the budget for the picture was staggering and cost almost four times the amount of any Columbia film at the time; an equivalent cost of approximately $30-$40 million today. A box office blockbuster, Lost Horizon is considered an exception among Capra's work for its deviation from his usual American theme -- and continues to capture the imagination of the viewing public today. 

Previous - Little Women - A holiday season favorite! The lives and Civil War-era times of Louisa May Alcott's March sisters--with Katharine Hepburn as firebrand Jo--play out masterfully under George Cukor's direction.Much rested on the slender shoulders of Little Women. Hollywood wanted to see if an adapted literary classic could strike box-office gold. Jo March and her sisters nimbly shouldered the load. This charming 1933 version of Louisa May Alcott's novel won overwhelming support (plus an Oscar® for Best Adaptation Screenplay). It also looks an sounds its best in years via this new digital transfer from restored fine-grain film elements and optical audio tracks. All gawky tomboyishness and spunk, Katherine Hepburn is Jo, the center of the Civil War-era tale of heart and hearth (revisited in 1949 and 1994 versions). Released during the depths of the Depression, [it] buoyed Americans' spirits. It still does (The Movie Guide).
