Thanks to everyone for all the pics, and especially the clip of, "Sign of the Cross" it was a treat to my tired old eyes..

Thanks also berigan, this clip made me want to search out more Claudette, and I found the following info on my travels..

Four Frightened People (1934)
Filmed on location in Hawaii, the shoot was torture for everyone (except DeMille, who loved it), with bugs, mud, dystentery, and jungle to contend with. Claudette Colbert had to bathe in a waterfall, after recently recovering from appendicitis, and caught such a bad case of influenza that she could barely finish the film. She was still unwell during the filming of Cleopatra, and often had to be carried to the set.

Incidentally, I also found the following info which may confirm your "she is supposedly nude in Demilles four frightened People" quote berigan:

Double - Mildred Mernie as Claudette Colbert (uncredited)
Bruce Warren as Herbert Marshall (uncredited)
Leota Lorraine as Mary Boland (uncredited)
Carl Mudge as William Gargan (uncredited)
Curley Dresden as Leo Carrillo (uncredited)

I'm considering doing a few rips from Cleopatra myself at the moment, just gotta find where I put the disc!
