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.
