Godspell / Lost Horizon

From the decade best known for disco, bell bottoms and cultural chaos comes this taunting set of two unforgettable musicals which burst onto the tumultuous 1970s scene sprouting their own unique messages. First up the sensational Godspell (Victor Garber, David Haskell, Katie Hanley. 103 min) in a modern-day retelling of the Gospel According to St. Matthew with incredible music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. The second blockbuster finds an extraordinary cast drenched in the music of the legendary Burt Bacharach with Hal David lyrics in Ross Hunter’s musical production of James Hilton’s literary jewel, Lost Horizon (Peter Finch, Liv Ullmann, Sally Kellerman, George Kennedy, Michael York. 150 min), in which the Europeans who escaped war-torn China were rescued from the Himalayas where they crash-landed and taken to the Valley of the Blue Moon in Shangri-La. 1973/color/NR/widescreen.
