Shangri-La, that mythical utopia, hidden away in the Himalayan mountains, is as known a name and place as is Atlantis. But Shangri-La was invented by James Hilton less than one hundred years ago.
As much as I enjoy the original Lost Horizons, I must confess that as a kid saw the 70's musical remake - and lived to tell the tale. Working together!
Ha! Thanks for that prompt. I've of course always known about the musical version, but have abstained from watching it for that very reason. Lost Horizon is, for me, about as far from a musical as can be. But heck, on the other hand I'm a huge musicals fan and so now, thanks to you, I'm watching it.
