Ben Mankiewicz introduces Mogambo, 1953.

Pro safari guide Marswell (Clark Gable) has grown fond of stranded “Honey” Kelly (Ava Gardner), even as she’s about to leave, on the same boat that brings Grace Kelly and Donald Sinden (as Linda and Donald Nordley) for their own high-end tour, in John Ford’s Mogambo, 1953.

Tough African safari-business guy Marswell (Clark Gable) isn’t quite as solicitous as new arrival Linda (Grace Kelly) would like, when her husband (Donald Sinden) succumbs to the effects of a pre-jungle vaccination, in Mogambo, 1953, John Ford’s re-make of Red Dust, 1932.

A good deal less bawdy than the equivalent Jean Harlow scene with the same leading man in the original (pre-Code) Red Dust, still alluring "Honey Bear" (Ava Gardner) in the shower meets angered safari guide Marswell (Clark Gable) early in John Ford's re-make, Mogambo, 1953.

Aristocratic Linda (Grace Kelly), whose husband is laid-up with a jungle illness, gets in trouble on an unauthorized walkabout, rescued by their crusty host Marswell (Clark Gable) from a panther, then stormy events, Honey (Ava Gardner) observing their heated parting, in John Ford's Mogambo, 1953.

Big time battle of dinner dresses, Eloise (Ava Gardner) playful, Linda (Grace Kelly) and her recuperating husband Donald (Sinden) cheery, safari guide Marswell (Clark Gable) and sidekick Brownie (Philip Stainton) playing along, in John Ford's Mogambo, 1953.
