      i believe it because i want to believe it

      FRANK CAPRA+ROBERT RISKIN One after another unbeaten records flooded the United States in the 1930s. Looking after one by one, there is always a sense of ambivalence that is divorced from reality and firmly grasped by reality.

Some people left their lives to be happy, some left as punishment and God sentenced...

      The lost blockbuster

      An absolute blockbuster, in the 1937 era

      Judging from the only remaining stills, the starring, the art, the set, and the special effects of that era, such as avalanches, are definitely ahead of the time.

      Although due to the lack of film and the shortcomings of the recording technology at the...

      Conway's character is described in the original book as follows:

      "There's...

    The origin of "Shangri-la". It's a beautiful, concise, and clean movie. I haven't read the original, but the characters in the film are already perfect, and the character of the characters fits well with the tension of the plot. Although the film There is a difference between Chinese culture and the characteristics of Tibetan areas, but it seems to be a trivial matter in the whole film. Everyone is intensively searching for the...

    • Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: Conway, I don't like this place! It's too mysterious!

    • [first lines]

      Book Pages: In these days of wars and rumors of wars - haven't you ever dreamed of a place where there was peace and security, where living was not a struggle but a lasting delight? / Of course you have. So has every man since time began. Always the same dream. Sometimes he calls it Utopia - Sometimes the Fountain of Youth - Sometimes merely "that little chicken farm." / One man had such a dream and saw it come true. He was Robert Conway - England's "Man of the East" - soldier, diplomat, public hero. / Our story starts in the war-torn Chinese city of Baskul, where Robert Conway has been sent to evacuate ninety white people before they are butchered in a local revolution. / Baskul - the night of March 10, 1935.
