Description

Garden City NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc.. Good in Poor dj. 1931. First Edition. Hardcover. [moderately worn but intact book, slight fading to spine cloth, general overall light soiling; jacket is a complete mess, however, missing the entire front flap, a large narrow chunk at the right edge of the front panel, with various other tears, chips and general degradation (held together, barely, by a paper-lined jacket cover; lower your expectations to avoid disappointment)]. "Light-hearted ruthlessness in a Malay jungle," in this novel about four people (two men and two women) who abandon a plague-infested ship and have to make their way through the jungle back to civilization. Filmed with his customary heavy hand by Cecil B. DeMille at Paramount in 1934, with Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall, Mary Boland, and William Gargan as the quartet, it was a notable box-office flop. (One online critic summed it up: "This is the shorter 78 minute version, which is quite long enough.") .
