Review of Mogambo (1953) by John A — 02 Jan 2009

Fine for a rainy day. Old-school Hollywood is always fun, but this one's a little musty. The glamour is still there, but this feels a little too much like a travelogue. I'm sure using real location footage was very exotic in 1953, however, nowadays the same stuff shows up every week on "Survivor.

" All this wouldn't be a problem if the plot held up better, but even that's a bit stale. It all comes down to the stars - you can't beat 'em. So, if you have any interest in the stars, see it.

If not, skip it.
