Nearly smarmy Chang (H.B.

Big special effects as Robert (Ronald Colman) and brother George (John Howard) Conway and cohorts (Thomas Mitchell, Edward Everett Horton and Isabel Jewell), evacuated from a crisis in China, crash land somewhere beyond Tibet in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, 1939.

Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) and fellow crash survivors (Thomas Mitchell, Edward Everett Horton, John Howard and Isabel Jewell) are led into Shangri-La by Chang (H.B. Warner) in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, 1937, from the James Hilton novel.

Conway (Ronald Colman) is introduced to the presence of the High Lama (Sam Jaffe) whose true identity he quickly deduces in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, 1937, from the James Hilton novel.
