OUT OF AFRICA.
(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.)

aired 5/15/88 [1988-05-15]
w/ Stefanie Powers & James Fox.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. Markham: James Fox. Purves: Brian Cox. Clutterbuck: Timothy West. Lady Delamere: Claire Bloom. Delamere: Frederick Treves. Kobi: Joseph Mydell. Finch Hatton: Trevor Eve. Garberry: Peter Bowles. Emma Orchardson: Nicola Pegg. (2 hrs.)
