Review of Mogambo

Mogambo (1953)
6/10
Gorilla footage best part
25 February 2007
There isn't a lot of footage of Gorillas in the wild and as these poor animals are becoming rarer and rarer it might be that this film represents some of the last filmed record of Gorillas in their natural habitat. Okay that's the most interesting thing about this film . Otherwise it could have been set anywhere as what it amounts to is a love triangle and hard to believe one at that. Sure Gable is cool, but I can't imagine either of these beauties (Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner) falling for him. Great performance from Ava though, reminded me a lot of her in "Night of the Iguana" and from what I've read of her life it is very close to her true character. Grace Kelly is a great beauty no doubt, but is there anyone else out there who feels, like me, that her voice with that fake English accent is annoying?
