(5 stars) - DVD - movie/musical
This movie was excellent and one I will look at again and again. The recording quality of the DVD was excellent.

(5 stars) - "One Of My Favorites!"
"Out Of Africa" has always been one of my all-time favorite films. Rarely has a movie excelled in all components of the cinema, everything from the acting to the direction to the story. Meryl Streep plays a woman named Karen Blixen who marrys a philandering man in Kenya. Soon, Karen falls in love with both the land and a white hunter, played by Robert Redford. The movie depicts Karen's story on running a coffee plantation, the problems she encounters in running her business, and her love affair with this mysterious man who has stolen her heart. "Out Of Africa", based on a true story, swept the 1985 Academy Awards, winning for Best Picture, Best Director for Sydney Pollack, Best Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction, and Sound. The music to the film is one of the most haunting in film history and adds to the intense drama. Roger Ebert says, "Out Of Africa" is one of the great epic romances". The special edition DVD comes with commentary by Pollack, an original documentary entitled "Song Of Africa", the trailer, and production notes. The film is 2 hours and 41 minutes, and the sound is 4.1. Simply, a perfect movie.

(2 stars) - BEWARE "anamorphic" pseudo-widescreen (FAKE)
"Anamorphic" widescreen? When is a widescreen movie not a widescreen movie? When it's anamorphic, which is a phony, useless imitation of genuine widescreen. If I had realized the phony nature of this print of OoA, I never would have purchased it.

The Song of Africa documentary was OK, though.

DON'T BUY this DVD if you're looking for an image like the one you saw in the theater. You will be as disappointed as I am, which is REALLY disappointed.

(5 stars) - Streeps best role
Best African movie ever made. Great cinematography. Good actors, good story. I don't like love stories, but this is an exception. Get the DVD.
