I have never seen the Rains, but have seen Inn and Mogambo. Both are very good. I think Inn is a true story. Gable, Gardner and Kelly were great in Mogambo.

You're right, @twinsister! "...Rains" was later remade as "The Rains of Ranchipur", which you might have seen-- the one with Lana Turner... Both versions good.

@Oznell - Yes, I have seen Rains of Ranchipur and it was good. I always get that confused with Elephant Walk with Liz Taylor. Haven't seen Elephant in years.

As always, thanks for the heads up.

Once again, Oznell, I so appreciate your reminders of upcoming movies. I will definitely be watching The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. Just to watch Robert Donat for all of 5 minutes.

I had gone to the TCM website and had reminders for all the movies in February that I wanted to watch. Unfortunately, all the reminders are going into my spam folder. So I have been missing movies that I was interested in watching. Will have to remember to check my spam folder.

But I am so glad that you are here and writing reminders.

I agree about Robert Donat. I love him. Unfortunately, he didn't make many Hollywood movies. He suffered from severe asthma and did not like to travel far from home. I wonder if the air quality in Hollywood was particularly troublesome for him.

I remember reading that William Powell was very concerned about what he considered the deadly air pollution in that part of California at the time; he stated it as a major reason for his move to Palm Springs.

Mogambo was a remake of the pre-code movie Red Dust (1932), which had also been a play.

Funny that Gable played the same role thirty years apart in both movies. I like both movies, maybe Red Dust a little more because of Jean Harlow and a younger Gable.
