If you have access to Netflix, I urge you to rent the BBC series by Michel Wood called "In Search of Myths and Heros." I just watched (for the second time) the episode on Shangri-La. Many of you may have read Hilton's famous book "Lost Horizon;" this 60 minute BBC video covers the backstory to that wonderful novel. The enclosed pictures - of a hidden Tibetan monastery and Ron Coleman in Capra's 1937 version of "Lost Horizon" - are screen captures from this excellent BBC episode. Highly recommended.
