Essential Actor / Actresses Here

Clark Gable, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly star in this bawdy remake of the silver screen classic "Red Dust." Victor Marswell, a handsome, big game hunter, lives on his rustic, roomy ranch in Kenya, Africa. A veteran outdoorsman, comfortable in the jungle, Victor makes his living as a safari guide. His latest guests are Eloise Kelly, a sultry American showgirl looking for a husband, and Donald and Linda Nordley. Donald, a priggish English archaeologist, just isn't the rugged man Victor is. So, when Victor takes a liking to Linda, she can't resist his masculine charm. Their lustful longings are nearly exposed by jealous Eloise who has been vying for Victor's affections. On a safari into gorilla country, Victor plans to break the news of their love for one another to Donald. Will Victor have the courage to take what he wants, whatever the cost?
