Movie Reviews of Mogambo
Movie Review: The King's last roar for Leo
Summary: 3 Stars
Mogambo sees the King ending his reign at MGM with a solid, albeit heavily reworked, remake of Red Dust. This time round Gable's a great white hunter in Africa trapping animals for zoos and circuses, but the mixture is much the same as before, albeit shot on location with a little less spice. Ava in the shower doesn't generate the heat of Harlow in a barrel, but at least she's the real deal compared to Grace Kelly's mannered turn as a rather unappealing bad tempered wimp (maybe he just has a thing for faux posh totty?). John Ford's direction is curiously anonymous: without his screen credit, I'd never have guessed he was the director in a million years. If anything, it feels more like a middling Richard Thorpe or Jack Conway film, but either way it's pure MGM all the way- a well-cooked steak, but no sizzle.
The transfer is good, though there are a few inconsistencies due to the master material available. The only extra is the enjoyably over the top original theatrical trailer.
