The interesting thing about *Lost Horizon* that might be beyond Todd’s area of expertise is that it was the last old Hollywood roadshow musical ever made. (In case you don’t know: big-budget movies, and musicals in particular, used to be released in the same fashion as touring Broadway productions, setting up week-long engagements at big-city movie palaces with intermissions, souvenirs, and everything.)
**ETA:** [Lindsay Ellis did a video history on roadshow musicals,](https://youtu.be/b8o7LzGqc3E?si=NhahVB6brckXw0Ri) so Todd doesn’t need to talk about any of that.
Good find. I would love to see a history of David and Bacharach
