Trivia
Yellow flowers planted on the set withered in the heat and had to be individually hand-painted back to the original colour to match footage already shot.
Quotes
Harry Lovett:
Well now, there you are. Here I am. And, where are we?
Goofs
The library at Shangri-La is supposed to be a repository for the world's great literature, yet a number of "Readers' Digest Condensed Books" are visible on its shelves.
Alternate Versions
"Lost Horizon" was cut by 23 minutes after its theatrical release. The deleted footage consisted of three songs: "I Come To You", "If I Could Go Back", and "Where Knowledge Ends, Faith Begins"; plus two reprises of "Living Together, Growing Together" were cut, and a fertility dance sequence was also edited out. Pioneer reinstated the three songs for a 1992 Laserdisc release whilst the remaining footage was restored for the 2011 DVD version.
