The "classic" from 1935. Taken from the H Rider Haggard novel. Nice set design and a couple of well-made effects scenes couldn't overcome the towering hokiness of the story, the acting styles, the dialogue, etc. This strove for the kind of pseudo-profundity reached by Frank Capra in Lost Horizon but missed it by a mile.
This has historical value only.
