| User ReviewAlaine B1934, OK? Four ship passengers flee Bubonic Plague onboard. They meet Leo Carrillo, the only "Englishman" on the island they row to. The jungle awaits and they have to walk through it. Torn clothes and dangers. Three of the people have major personality changes. Claudette Colbert as a frightened schoolteacher with hair in a bun...to start with. The Four manage to survive the ordeal. One of them forces population control on a tribe that took her hostage. C. B. DeMille, but don't prejudge it by that. |
| User ReviewTeremoana LAlright but no, I wouldn't watch it again. A product of the pre-code era with nudity and a married man falling for another woman. Claudette Colbert transforms from a conservative school teacher into a provocative jungle queen. Overall not DeMille's best work, a classic pre-code piece though. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood but really different choice from director demille |
| User Reviewjay nI wasn't impressed by this movie, I didn't see it very long ago, and I barely remember it. I think it had a stupid ending too. |

| User ReviewMatt KI picked up the B. DeMille collection and this 1934 movie was included. Though not as spectacular as some of his movies, it has plenty of thrills including snake attack, native attack as FOUR FRIGHTENED PEOPLE make their way across the Malaysian Jungle. Perhaps the biggest contribution this movie makes is steriotyped sex roles, where the women are helpless and the men are boisterous. Plus, this movie strangely takes a casual attitude towards divorce, which was rare for that time period. |
