(1985)
w/ Robt. Redford, Meryl Streep and Klaus Maria Brandauer.
The Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 1985. Danish author Karen Blixen (1885-1962), who wrote under the name of Isak Dinesen, recalled her years as the manager of a Kenya coffee plantation in her 1938 memoirs "Out of Africa." From that book and other of her writings, plus two Blixen biographies, Kurt Luedtke fashioned an Oscar-winning screenplay that takes the spirited Karen (Meryl Streep) from the beginnings of a loveless marriage of convenience in 1914 Denmark to unexpected danger and romance in British East Africa. There, she faces a series of challenges-including the long absences of her indifferent husband Bjar (Klaus Maria Brandauer)-with impassioned independence. Often left alone, Karen grows attracted to adventurer Denny Finch Hatton (Robert Redford) and finds in him the love lacking in her marriage. Also lauded with Oscars: director Sydney Pollack; cinematographer David Watkins; composer John Barry; the film's art direction and sound. Rated PG: strong language, adult themes. Berkeley: Michael Kitchen. Farah: Malick Bowens. Felicity: Suzanne Hamilton. Delamere: Michael Gough. Lady Bellfield: Rachel Kempson. (2 hrs., 45 min.)

BERYL MARKHAM: A SHADOW ON THE SUN, PART 1 Stefania Powers excels in this fact-based 1988 TV-movie, playing a fascinating free spirit whose circle embraced characters from "Out of Africa." Born in England in 1902, Beryl Markham (née Clutterbuck) was uprooted at age 4 to British-ruled Kenya, where she grew up with her father on a farm he carved out of the rugged highlands. From her father, Beryl inherited a love of horses and a strong strain of independence—both of which served her well later on in life as a trainer of champion Thoroughbreds and as a daring aviator.

7/12/88
FAT MAN ON A BICYCLE (GOES NORSE), PART 1 British radio personality Tom Vernon cycles 1500 miles from Norway to the Russian border in a four-part (and two-wheeled) Scandinavian tour. The portly peddler's first stop is Stavanger in southern Norway, where he yells with seaman Erik Bye about the country's bloody seafaring past. He asks: "What has made you peacemakers now?" Bye responds: "We're too few to cause any trouble. I mean four million Norwegians, what can we do? If we had been 140 million, you would have heard from us." In Stavanger Vernon also observes Constitution Day celebrations, including the preteen rousing of teachers by merry graduating high-school students. Next is a stop in Bergen, a commercial sea town, where Vernon trips with radio commentator Ivar Garberg about Norway's social problems; and meets Jan Oahn, a World War II Resistance leader who saved his own neck at his court-martial by speaking in a slang his Nazi prosecutors couldn't understand. From there, Vernon moves on to Oslo, where he views a child "wedding" and plays a 1912 violin crafted from mother-of-pearl and elephant bone; and Trondheim, where he samples a batch of homemade beer—a beverage the brewer claims is so strong that "you could drive your car on [it]."

FAT MAN ON A BICYCLE
(GOES NORSE), PART 1
British radio personality Tom Vernon cycles 1500
miles from Norway to the Russian border in a
four-part (and two-wheeled) Scandinavian tour.
The portly peddler's first stop is Stavanger in
southern Norway, where he yells with seaman
Erik Bye about the country's bloody seafaring
past. He asks: "What has made you peacemak-
ers now?" Bye responds: "We're too few to
cause any trouble. I mean four million Norwe-
gians, what can we do? If we had been 140 mil-
lion, you would have heard from us." In Stavang-
er Vernon also observes Constitution Day cele-
brations, including the preteen rousing of teach-
ers by merry graduating high-school students.
Next is a stop in Bergen, a commercial sea
town, where Vernon trips with radio commenta-
tor Ivar Garberg about Norway's social problems;
and meets Jan Oahn, a World War II Resistance
leader who saved his own neck at his court-man-
trial by speaking in a slang his Nazi prosecutors
couldn't understand. From there, Vernon moves
on to Oslo, where he views a child "wedding"
and plays a 1912 violin crafted from mother-of-
pearl and elephant bone; and Trondheim, where
he samples a batch of homemade beer—a bev-
erage the brewer claims is so strong that "you
could drive your car on [it]." (60 min.)
