Notes

Although the original trailer for the film explains that "Mogambo" means "the Greatest," in fact, the word "Mogambo" has no meaning at all. Producer Sam Zimbalist came up with the title by altering the name of the Mocambo, a famous Hollywood nightclub.

The first day of shooting was disrupted by a large baboon that kept getting into camera range to watch Clark Gable and Ava Gardner film a love scene.

While Gardner was shooting a scene with a baby elephant, the creature pushed her into a mud pool; she screamed for help, but John Ford motioned the crew to keep quiet and keep on filming. The scene proved to be one of the funniest in the movie. Just as with the cheetah in the movie, a leopard actually wandered into Ava Gardner's tent one night.

This was only Clark Gable's third film in color. The first two were Gone with the Wind (1939) and Across the Wide Missouri (1951).
