This is a remake of Red Dust, and while it is inferior, having a so-so story and a less humorous script, it is still worth seeing for the location shooting and the cast. The location shooting is absolutely gorgeous, with exotic scenery and stunning cinematography, and the direction is above decent.
It is in the performances though where Mogambo scores highest. Clark Gable plays his role with crusty demeanour and wit, and Grace Kelly looks really beautiful, but it is Ava Gardner's show all the way with the actress in one of her lovelier performances along with Showboat.
Overall, it is definitely worth watching for the cast and locations. 7/10 Bethany Cox
