Mogambo (Channel 13 Sunday at 1 p.m.): John Ford, in a relaxed, summer-vacation kind of mood, travels to Africa with Clark Gable and Grace Kelly for an amiable 1953 remake of “Red Dust,” which may have helped inspire Howard Hawks’ “Hatari!” (2:00)

Places in the Heart (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.): Robert Benton, looking back at his childhood home of Waxahachie, Tex., during the great Depression, celebrates the simple virtues of love, loyalty and fortitude in hard times--with Sally Field leading a beleaguered little farm household that refuses to quit. (2:15)

Loulou/Police (Bravo Wednesday at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively): Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Huppert on both sides of the law, in a pair of movies by Maurice Pialat, a writer-director whose raw, candid, emotional style suggests a French John Cassavetes. (2:00)
