November 9, 2008What? No comments on this 1985 film?? Won 7 Academy Awards..yet some have still given it no respect?!? A toast..."Rose-lipped maidens, light-footed lads." (1985 Direector: Sydney Pollack) Ever tried Kenyan coffee? It is superb--the flavor of an expresso but without the harshness....The new Baroness (& the Baron...aka "My Lover's Brother") move to Kenya, marry & begin a coffee plantation...a 3-4year cash crop...[Dialogue between the young couple: "I didn't buy cattle. We are going to grow coffee. That's not what we planned [the Baroness protests!]" About the best film I have ever seen!! Some amazing quotes, perhaps the most famous of which are: "I once had a farm in Africa.." based on a true story written under the pen name of Isak Dinesen. http://as.starware.com/dp/search?qry=out+of+africa&src_id=381&client_id=977F751001C7748A00FCCCCC&product=rsearch&serv=web&subproduct=site&version=4.5.2.0&it=1175451706&step=2&rs_prev=africa+movie&serv=web A toast..."Rose-lipped maidens, lig
