It took years to finish, and in 1937 the time had come. Frank Capra's Lost Horizon was viewed by an audience for the first time. The film was shortened so many times, and so close to it's world premiere, that poster artwork had to be scrapped, since the motifs no longer was in the finished film. James Montgomery Flagg, once the highest paid illistrator in USA, was one of the artists involved.
However, Flagg kept working and came up with new artwork that fitted the finished film, and this is the most known.
Flagg made other artwork as well. You've seen the one with Uncle Sam, haven't you? The "I want you" poster? Yes, that one. That's James Montgomery Flagg.
