a I saw Out of Africa again during the holidays, and I would like to amend my previous posting somewhat. While Brandauer's not without honor slime ball steals almost all the scenes he is in, Streep carries much more of the movie and is terriffic. I also neglected to mention the uniformly high quality of the supporting performances. Redford's most glaring problem is that he sounds like an American, not like Denys Finch-Hatten. The actor playing Barkley Cole tends to overshadow him in the early scenes together and suggest more romantic possibilities. The movie holds up a second time, but is too long.
