Movie Description
Clark Gable reprises his role as veteran big-game trapper and guide Vic Marswell in John Ford's remake of RED DUST, the actor's 1932 hit. After a brief fling with Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner), an adventurer temporarily stranded in Kenya, Vic is hired as a guide by British anthropologist Donald Nordley (Donald Sinden)--who has come to study the gorilla--and his wife, Linda (Grace Kelly). Linda is immediately attracted to Vic and begins flirting with him furiously, behavior that goes unnoticed by her preoccupied husband but not the jealous Eloise, who manages to get in a few verbal jabs at dinner. While walking through the jungle, Vic saves Linda from an attacking panther, and although she tacitly offers herself to him, he passes. As the group's safari heads into gorilla country, the sexual tension between Vic and Linda increases, but her husband's absorption in simian affairs prevents repercussions. However, the gorillas do not reciprocate Donald's interest, and when one of them attacks the scientist, Vic has a chance to be rid of his mild-mannered rival. One of Ford's least typical projects, this comedy of jungle manners includes none of his characteristic themes, but the sardonic John Lee Mahin script, the easy rapport between Gable and Gardner, and the striking photography of the African veldt make it a film well worth watching.
Synopsis
Clark Gable, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly star in this bawdy remake of the silver screen classic "Red Dust."
Victor Marswell, a handsome, big game hunter, lives on his rustic, roomy ranch in Kenya, Africa. A veteran outdoorsman, comfortable in the jungle, Victor makes his living as a safari guide. His latest guests are Eloise Kelly, a sultry American showgirl looking for a husband, and Donald and Linda Nordley. Donald, a priggish English archaeologist, just isn't the rugged man Victor is. So, when Victor takes a liking to Linda, she can't resist his masculine charm. Their lustful longings are nearly exposed by jealous Eloise who has been vying for Victor's affections. On a safari into gorilla country, Victor plans to break the news of their love for one another to Donald. Will Victor have the courage to take what he wants, whatever the cost?
