Out of Africa (1985)

I had read the book before seeing this movie, so the story held a certain curiousity for me. Otherwise, I probably would not have enjoyed the film. It's way too long & a bit sappy.

The book was also very long, but not nearly as sappy. The book mentions Denys as a friend who stops by the farm every now & then, whereas the movie portrays him as Karin's love interest. Either way, it was interesting to see the scenes from Kenya, which is on my list of places to visit. & Meryl Streep was absolutely beautiful!
