Review of Mogambo (1953) by Trev B — 24 Aug 2009
Mogambo is not one of the greatest of John Ford's films, but it is still a solid piece of work. Clark Gable is at his manliest, and Grace Kelly is cast perfectly though her performance is not so perfect.
However, Ava Gardner steals the show. Of course, John Ford himself makes great use of the African landscape, applying his brilliant American West photography to the jungles and rivers of Africa. This film is a good piece of entertainment.
