Mogambo is a 1953 Technicolor adventure/romantic drama film directed by John Ford and starring Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, and Grace Kelly, and featuring Donald Sinden.

It was shot on location in colonial British East Africa, Tanganyika, Uganda Protectorate, and French Congo, with a musical soundtrack consisting almost entirely of traditional music recorded in Congo.

The film was adapted by John Lee Mahin from the play Red Dust (1928) by Wilson Collison. It is considered a remake of the film Red Dust (1932), which was set in Vietnam and also starred Gable in the same role.

The original trailer for the film claimed that "Mogambo" meant "the greatest" but, in fact, the word has no meaning at all. Producer Sam Zimbalist came up with the title by altering the name of the Mocambo, a famous Hollywood nightclub.
