Victor Marswell (Clark Gable) runs a big game trapping company in Kenya. Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner) is ditched there, and an immediate attraction happens between them. Then Mr. and Mrs. Nordley (Donald Sinden and Grace Kelly) show up for their gorilla documenting safari. Mrs. Nordley is not infatuated with her husband any more, and takes a liking to Marswell. The two men and two women have some difficulty arranging these emotions to their mutual satisfaction, but eventually succeed. Filmed in French Equatorial Africa, John Ford directs this remake of Red Dust for MGM. (Rob Hardy, IMDb)
