Shortly thereafter, the Nordleys (Grace Kelly, Donald Sinden) arrive for a gorilla safari. Mrs. Nordley, disillusioned with her husband, takes a liking to Marswell, and the two have a brief affair. Kelly grows jealous, and the two women engage in a battle of wills over the hunter, while Mr. Nordley remains oblivious to it all.

Mar 06, 2022A great role for Gardner but other than that its mostly silly and unremarkable.
-
Dec 30, 2013Not one of John Ford's best, Mogambo is escapism in its more pure form. Considering that there was a lot of sleeping around on set, enough of the passion was kept to add to the on-screen chemistry. A tad bit silly in the end.

Sep 05, 2010I found this movie boring, I didn't watch the entire movie I was too bored. This is one of those jungle pictures with a little romance thrown in, and not much more. I didn't like it.

Feb 11, 2010If you are going to put Clark Gable in Africa hunting animals and banging beautiful woman in a movie, your going to need a man's man director, and nobody is more perfrect(well maybe Huston) for that task than other John Ford. When I finshed watching this I sat there for a while and thought nothing really happened, but damn I loved it. Cause really a lot is happening, and I think that is what is great about this film. It just takes you into this world and lets you just watch it unravel piece by piece.
