The basis of the film was an unproduced play that took a serious look at the tragic situation of a star who is exploited by everyone around her.
In a story conference at MGM, screenwriter John Lee Mahin had the inspiration to turn the tale into a comedy ­ an idea seized by Fleming when he realized Bow's story was ripe for satire.
Another character in the film, publicity agent "Space" Hanlon (Lee Tracy), is loosely based on MGM publicity chief Howard Strickling.

Director John Ford didn't have the benefit of ever seeing what Victor Fleming had done with Red Dust, but was intrigued with the prospect of working in Africa.
Scenarist John Lee Mahin, who had initially adapted Wilson Collison's Broadway play for the screen, was called upon again, and the action was shifted from an Indochinese rubber plantation to a Kenyan safari camp.
Mogambo's $5 million domestic gross was the best first-year return that any of Ford's films ever enjoyed; Gardner and Kelly received Oscar nominations for their efforts; and Gable's career enjoyed a resurgence that would sustain the actor until his death.

Several scenes use a double shot from behind, and others recycle footage of Walker from Strangers on a Train (1951).
The final scene, where a recording of John delivers an anti-communist speech, is lit with a halo around the tape-recorder.
Made at the height of the infamous red scare, "My Son John" is so fervent in its anti-Communist message that it becomes somewhat fascinating as a piece of social history.

Publicity agent Space Hanlon (Lee Tracy) talks to Lola through her window and asks for a date.
Space is as glib, frenetic, resourceful and unprincipled as the John Barrymore character in Twentieth Century, and as hammy a performer (Space, not Tracy--nor Barrymore).
A manifestation of Lola's self-consciousness, perhaps (she's always posing, arranging herself, playing little scenes), or maybe of an even deeper self-consciousness, as eventually proves to be the case.

Yet, in the midst of all this, passions erupt, tempers flare and the social order of Marswell's world is temporarily disrupted.
In 1952, with the encroachment of middle age and his status as "King of Hollywood" no longer undisputed, Clark Gable was in sore need of a box-office smash to reaffirm his position.

John Lee Mahin (based on the play "Red Dust" by Wilson Collison)
Reviews: Gable's performance in "Red Dust" alongside Jean Harlow had been one of his earliest hits; 21 years later he was still big enough at the box-office to star in this remake, re-scripted by original screenwriter John Lee Mahin, and re-sited from a studio-set Saigon to African locations.
The insolent sex talk of the original is here toned down, and the relaxed rumbustiousness of the safari love triangle is wholly in keeping with Ford's holidaying inclinations at the time.

She begins in her uniquely raspy, singsong voice, extending all vowels until the breaking point, and then dramatically ups the register until she is screaming and clutching the air, Norma Desmond-style.
