Gable reprises his role from "Red Dust" twenty years earlier in this remake by Ford. He is a third of a love triangle completed by Gardner and Kelly. It's a little hard to buy the concept of both women lusting after Gable because he looks older than both of them combined! The stars are fun to watch, with Gardner giving the best performance. It's entertaining enough although there isn't much of a plot and it goes on too long. The location cinematography by Surtees and Young is quite beautiful. This would make a nice double-bill with Hawks' "Hatari," which has a similar setting and plot, including a May-December romance involving John Wayne.
