Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from October 27, 2016 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I cannot get over Ronald Colman kissing Loretta Young in Clive of India. One of the first colour efforts.
I guess someone has mentioned that this is the first noting of the term Shangri-La in the book Lost Horizon.

I forgot to mention that in Clive of India it was one of the rare instances where Ronald Colman did NOT wear a moustache.
