68121N.p. n.d. Eleven 8½" x 11" photographic stills from the movie contained in a recent red cloth folding case with printed paper label on upper cover. Fine. The 1954 movie was based on the 1950 book of the same name. It "was filmed in 1949 when Lowell Thomas and Lowell Thomas Jr. took a journey to Tibet before the Chinese had moved in. It shows Tibet as it was then and for that matter as it had been for centuries. The most important thing in Tibet was religion and it shows the people firm in their faith living a simple life under the absolute power of the Grand Lama. The long and difficult journey to Lhasa was made possible by the authorities who hoped to show the world the simple life in Tibet and to ask for aid against the Communists who were even then threatening. In Lhasa the Thomases visited the palace of the High Lama where a rare-interview was granted. The way back to 'civilization' was difficult especially since Thomas Sr. was seriously injured in an accident that made him a stretcher case during the return" IMDb. unknown
