before Gable
On the Kagera River, Tanganyika, LARK GABLE, up to his knees in jungle, rifle at the ready, is stalking through the African undergrowth, saving blonde Graco Kelly from attack by a leopard which is not there.
On a blazing December day Gable and a group of British and American actors are on the softest safari Africa has ever seen.
It is for the film "Mogambo" (Hollywood Swahili for Passion), and before we left the ease of Nairobi, 800 miles away by road, there were indoctrination and brief- ing lectures.
"Well, men, it will be rugged, pretty rugged. There will be two doctors.. and a hospital unit în camp And don't walk around with bare feet. Good luck.".
So to
battle.
Ava Gardner, Gable's co-star in the picture, takes a week's leave in London to prepare for the rigoură.
Our camp, for 120 in the unit, and 350 Africans, is hacked out of the bush on the banks of the Kageru River, 70 miles from the nearest village and without a name on the map.

Gable comes in to dinner in a bush jacket, shorts, and no hat (the 50-lorry convoy with the film clothes and props has not yet arrived) and raises his eyebrows at the menu: Grapefruit cock- tail, asparagus, soup, roast turkey, garden: peas, sweet corn, sherry trifle.
