Review of Mogambo (1953) by Les E — 18 Feb 2014

Mogambo looks almost nice in wide-angle Technicolor, but nothing happens and even that happens slowly. Anything set in Africa with wild animals all around - as well as dense jungle, storms, guns, disease, natives, traps, heat, drought - must surely show some promise for an entertaining story, but this could just as easily have been set in a Bethnal Green chartered accountants' office for all the excitement and intrigue that Mogambo delivered.

Not even worth watching if you're a fan of the three leads and some of the animals appear to get a raw deal too :-( Just about a 6/10.
