If you loved Mogambo, try Donovan's Reef

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Ford, and they sit in Adventure / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mogambo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Donovan's Reef is

John Ford directs his energies toward the South Pacific. A Bostonian spinster travels to French Polynesia to find her long-lost, somewhat disreputable, father. It is exactly the sort of thing you expect, even if you don't expect John Ford to have made it.
