Honestly, this was pretty stupid but I enjoyed it. Though Ava Gardner deserved so much better and I wasn't a huge fan of Grace Kelly's character or her character's husband. The animal footage was cool. And obviously there's the usual problems with these 1950s African safari films. Overall it's nothing special but can be fun if you want juicy safari drama.

The shittiest remake of Red Dust. While both include very problematic colonial vibes, Red Dust was bearable thanks to Jean Harlow. Ava Gardner actually lives up to Jean Harlow's performance and I actually really like Ava Gardner a lot in this. She was very charismatic and charming, full of witt and sensuality making her a perfect actress. She doesn't get enough credit, I don't doubt she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, which is very shocking for an actress like Ava Gardner. Clark is Clark, he's okay and nice. Grace Kelly is fine, that's it fine. Again I didn't like her much in this. She didn't have enough fire in her belly for me and I prefer her much more in Alfred Hitchcock's films. In this she was rather annoying. Only Ava had this film on her back. But it was fascinating to see two major actresses star with each other, given this was such a rare practice in old Hollywood.
