The Great Stars: Mogambo

BBC One
on BBC One London

The second of three films starring the 'King' of Hollywood
[Starring] Clark Gable
with Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly

Jungle adventure at its most exciting and one of the King's greatest post-war successes, Mogambo also gains from the lively handling of veteran director John Ford. Gable plays Vic Marswell, a white hunter whose business is handling wild animals. On this expedition he finds himself snared by two new types - Ava Gardner as a stranded show-girl and Grace Kelly as the cool, beautiful young wife of a British anthropologist.
