Mogambo (1953)
In Africa la ballerina americana Eloise è costretta a soggiornare in una sperduta fattoria appartenente a Vic Maxwell. Tra i due nasce l'amore, ma entrambi hanno un carattere abbastanza spigoloso. Durante una spedizione con una coppia di coniugi, Donald e Linda Nordley, Vic s'innamora di Linda, ma cerca di soffocare il sentimento per non rovinare il matrimonio di lei. Anche Linda è combattuta, sia perché forse ama ancora Donald, sia perché è diventata amica di Eloise. Ford non si impegna più di tanto e, con ineccepibile mestiere, porta avanti il film con attori di gran nome, dando rilievo anche agli esotici scenari che fanno da sfondo.
