A plane crash in then-remote Tibet lands Ronald Colman and a small party of Westerners in a hidden valley amid the frozen peaks, a balmy sanctuary where no one grows old and everyone lives in peace and plenty. These days, that premise would be a platform for an eventual good vs. evil battle, but Frank Capra’s epochal film is more cerebral, even spiritual, as love and duty grapple.
