Mogambo (1953)

6.6

Plot: Victor Marswell lives in East Africa capturing live animals for zoos and circuses. He returns from safari to find that the attractive Honey Bear Kelly has arrived, expecting to meet a friend who left Marswell's camp the week before. The hard-living Marswell and the seductive Kelly seem made for each other and there's an instant attraction. That is until Linda Nordley and her scientist-husband arrive for a safari. Marswell finds himself strangely attracted to the demure Mrs. Nordley and those feelings are reciprocated. The result is a love triangle with all of the mixed, raw emotion that usually provides.

Alternative Plot: Victor Marswell (Clark Gable) is a big-game hunter in Kenya. After Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner) is stood up by a friend there, she falls in with Marswell. Shortly thereafter, the Nordleys (Grace Kelly, Donald Sinden) arrive for a gorilla safari. Mrs. Nordley, disillusioned with her husband, takes a liking to Marswell, and the two have a brief affair. Kelly grows jealous, and the two women engage in a battle of wills over the hunter, while Mr. Nordley remains oblivious to it all.
