Product Description

Mogambo (DVD)

Academy Award winners Clark Gable and Grace Kelly star with Ava Gardner in a torrid love triangle set on an African safari.Based on the film Red Dust.Filmed entirely on location in Africa.

]]>

Amazon.com

This remake of the 1932 Red Dust is famous for using the very same romantic leading man--21 years after the fact. But when that leading man is Clark Gable, what's a little gray hair in the temples? Gable was certainly still the great strutting rooster of American movies in 1953, when Mogambo made him a safari guide juggling two much younger women. First up is good-time girl Ava Gardner, who's game for a little harmless romp with Gable after she gets stood up by a playboy in the African jungle. But when Grace Kelly--the proper wife of a visiting anthropologist (Donald Sinden)--arrives on the scene, a new affair begins. The location shooting is much in the vein of King Solomon's Mines, although the story is much more intimate. This feels like a bit of a holiday for Hollywood's top director, John Ford, and not one of his most committed pictures. Still, Ford's unparalleled eye for backlit exteriors and for the way people move around in rooms is on display, even when the script wobbles. People always joke about Gable being too old for this movie, but that doesn't take into account his durable movie-star appeal--he certainly looks every inch the Hemingwayesque hunter, and it's not that big a stretch to imagine Gardner or Kelly in the clinches with him. Indeed, he and Grace Kelly had an offscreen affair during shooting, graying temples or not. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars African adventure and sizzling romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2011

Clark Gable is an animal trapper in Africa to bring back alive the various animal catches for the zoos. Ava Gardner comes upon him and his crew thru a boating accident and of course, she is smitten by the handsome Gable. But, it does not stop there as Grace Kelly, an anthropologist, and her husband, come to Gable's camp asking him to take them into the land of the giant Apes on a safari. Gable is smitten by Kelly and agrees to take them to the land of the giant Apes, and Ava Gardner shows her jealosy of his intention for Grace Kelly as she goes along on this adventure.

There is great cinema shots of the African safari lands and has plenty of action with the various wild animals in it. The movie is an adventure, entertaining movie even if the love triangle was not part of it.

Clark Gable is intent on luring Grace Kelly away from her husband and has a love encounter with her. The drama intensifies as they get to the land of the Giant Apes when Gable plans to make his move to take her away from her husband by telling him that he and Grace Kelly are in love.

There is great tension and action when Gable's party encounters the apes.

The twist comes at the end as the love triange plays out in a very unique way. A very entertaining movie that has been time tested. And one cannot go wrong with stars of this magnitude including the one and only Clark Gable, as handsome as ever, though older, and two beautiful costars such as Grace Kelly, and Ava Gardner.

A classic movie. It's so refreshing to watch a film with no filler or wasted scenes, yet the story never feels rushed and the actors all perform beautifully. I'm not familiar with John Ford's other works but the direction style here reminded me of "The African Queen" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madres" directed by John Huston in its elegance and deceptive simplicity. I wasn't expecting the beautiful landscape and wildlife footage or that the African people would be depicted so naturally. I really like all the lead actors, Gable, Gardner, and Grace Kelly, but had put off seeing this film because I assumed there would be some racism in the depictions of the African people. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised on that point. There's no cartoonish racism, and except for the white men calling the african men "boys" and their assumption that the white men will get the credit & reward for the Africans' labor (capturing the wild animals) no other racism. The sound track of actual Africans singing their own music is simply beautiful.

I'm a big fan of this film for its guilty pleasures and would like to give it 5 stars for my personal enjoyment but that wouldn't do justice to the true John Ford classics. This one is dynamite but, truthfully, 3 1/2 stars is more like it. This is a corny potboiler "movie movie" where bridled loins and unbridled passion meet with great star power. Grace Kelly is smokin' as the repressed English wife/marm of a sincere but dull Brit. But Ava Garder as a brassy urban night-lifer dropped in the middle of East Africa to keep the party goin' steals the show. Polar opposites, the two of them orbit around macho Clark Gable's big game hunter, everyone lusting for someone or something. And since the grass is always greener and he is a hunter after all, Gable is less interested in Ava's easy virtue than Kelly's cool chastity. John Ford rarely, if ever, did the romantic/sex thing to this extent (though John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara do steam it up in a few) but he goes the distance here. Set in a sweaty dangerous jungle full of hot and humid eyes and bodies, and toss in a gorilla hunt for added symbolism.........good stuff. Conformity of 1950s marriages are challenged here by Hollywood non-comformists so the general population didn't have to. The trailer is hilarious for all the references to the smoldering African atmosphere. Nothing to take seriously but well crafted period piece with mercurial John Ford at the helm. Good price for an atypical Ford collectible

Great classic movie. Nice to see Grace Kelly being the bitch for once. Yes, I know that this movie is bad for this day and age. Hunting the gorillas is really bad. But it's Hollywood glamour.

J. Huston disait le cinéma c'est J. Ford, J. Ford et J. Ford. Ce filme le confirme. Magnifiques images, magnifique romance, magnifique Ava Gardner. Etude de comportements humains, réussites et échecs, vie sauvage, libre, bien loin de la morosité du moment et des privations de liberté que l'on vit aujourd'hui. Ca fait du bien.
