Ronald Colman is excellent as Robert Conway, a renowned foreign affairs bureaucrat whose plane is shanghaied on route to Shanghai and redirected to the mythical utopia. It's a marvelous movie, full of good performances, fabulous sets and settings, and its craftsmanship is such that it makes you long to find your own Shangri La, which was undoubtedly team Capra's intention. The restoration team, led by Robert Gitt, got to work on the project in 1973 and apparently searched the world for the shorn snippets and managed to find all the audio soundtrack and all but seven minutes of the filmed footage. This tactic may sound silly, but it works. In all, it's a remarkable tactic and one must admire their guts for even attempting such an audacious thing - let alone pulling it off so well.
Audio quality is good, considering the age of the movie and the worldwide search for the soundtrack.
It's in Dolby Digital 2.0 channel mono, which means the sound comes from the main front speakers. There's also a good set of liner notes. Deeds is the shy writer of greeting card poetry - a man who marches to his own, well, tuba. Deeds travels to New York to claim his inheritance and his new life as a wealthy socialite and patron of the arts. He takes over the running of the estate and picks up the duties of his benefactor.
