Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Ford romantic adventure, MOGAMBO (1953) starring Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, and Donald Sinden. This film was a remake of RED DUST (1932), a film made by Gable over twenty years earlier. In the Ford remake, Gable plays a world weary and cynical big game hunter and safari leader. First he meets Gardner, a wisecracking American chorus girl who finds herself stranded in the jungle. Then, a British anthropologist (Sinden) and his sheltered wife (Kelly) arrive on the scene. Gable agrees to lead them all on an expedition into gorilla country. Gardner was nominated for Best Actress and Kelly was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The great African scenery and wild animals are beautifully photographed in Technicolor, and Ford brilliantly decided not to use a musical score but rather jungle sounds and tribal chants as his soundtrack. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition with only some touch-up at fold lines and repairs to minor tears.
