Two decades after starring in the racy 1932 pre-code classic Red Dust, Clark Gable reprised his role in this lavish John Ford remake. Passions boil over as a sultry showgirl (Gardner) goes toe to toe with a demure Briton (Kelly, in a star-making role) for the affections of a big-game hunter (Gable). The spectacular location shooting in the African safari includes baby elephants and a tense gorilla battle. The film earned Oscar nominations for both Gardner and Kelly.
