Great film. I was in Nairobi last summer and asked the driver to take me to the Karen Blixen house. I was the only visitor and the house was in need of repair, but you could still feel the aura of the place. Inside there were photos of the real Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, as well as Redford and Streep. The lawn and porch looked much the same and it was easy to visualize the film being shot there. The interior layout was very attractive, but photos were prohibited!

picked up a copy of Out of Africa at the airport in Nairobi and read it on the flight back. I found that the filmmakers took considerable liberties with the truth, but it made for a good film.

Incidentally Karen Blixen also uses a lot of "writer's licence" in her stories too. Some of the characters are completely fictional. But great stories non the less.
