在这部失去的地平线剧情/爱情/歌舞/奇幻/冒险片中,本片是根据同名小说改编而成的音乐片版本，因制作方向错误，使得本片成为一部歌舞充斥、华而不实的幼稚之作。全片只有开始的一段还可以观看，不过，导演查尔斯．贾洛特的镜头处理手法还算够水准，史伯特．苏堤斯的摄影技术亦为本片增色不少，片中优美的镜头令人如痴如醉，彼得．芬治、奥利维亚．赫西等人的表演也不俗。
This retelling of the classic tale of James Hilton's Utopian lost world plays out uneasily amid musical production numbers and Bacharach pop music. While escaping war-torn China, a group of Europeans crash in the Himalayas, where they are rescued and taken to the mysterious Valley of the Blue Moon, Shangri-La. Hidden from the rest of the world, Shangri-La is a haven of peace and tranquility for world-weary diplomat Richard Conway. His ambitious brother, George, sees it as a prison from which he must escape, even if it means risking his life and bringing destruction to the ancient culture of Shangri-La.
