Four Frightened People (1934) Cecil B. DeMille's Four Frightened People is a character study about a quartet of castaways whose fates are permanently altered by spectacular circumstances. Four coastal steamer passengers jump ship when a deadly bubonic plague breaks out. They steal a lifeboat and land on a remote Malayan island. The frightened people are a wealthy, married rubber chemist (Herbert Marshall), a mousy schoolteacher (Claudette Colbert, with requisite eyeglasses), a tough news correspondent (William Gargan) and the supercilious wife of a British official (Mary Boland). As the four adapt themselves to the rigors of jungle life, the lady teacher sheds her glasses and becomes more attractive by the day--and is subsequently fought over by the two men in the party. Their native guide (Leo Carrillo) dead, the castaways are captured by hostile Islanders... Director/Producer: Cecil B. DeMille; Screenplay: Bartlett Cormack, Lenore J. Coffee Camera: Karl Struss Music: Karl Hajos, Milton Roder, H. Rohenheld, John Leipold Cast: Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall, Mary Boland, William Gargan, Leo Carrillo, Tetsu Komai
