"The emotion the movie invokes is true to Dinesen: when the audience weeps, it is not only for the loss of her idol but for her separation from Africa, which Pollack and company have brought so meticulously and beautifully to life." - David Ansen, Newsweek. "Isak Dinesen's haunting memoir Out of Africa had long eluded filmmakers when screenwriter Kurt Luedtke began work in 1982 on what would become - three years and six or seven drafts later - one of the decade's most popular and acclaimed movies. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, won seven Academy Awards and grossed over $200 million is six months. Published her for the first time is the movie's final shooting script - the one actually used in production. In his introduction Sydney Pollack discusses its development including: the search for a thematic peg on which to hang the story, the effort to construct a proper "voice" for the main character (Dinesen herself), the problems in chracterizing Dinesen's enigmatic lover Denys Finch Hatton, the agonies of keeping the film's length manageable (it came in finally at 150 minutes). Annotating the script throughout, Pollack indicates nearly 70 instances where scenes were eliminated, shortened, or otherwise restructured during the shooting and editing. Also included are photographs and production notes describing the meticulous preparations - sets, locations, costumes - that helped make the movie such a vivid experience. The resulting book gives a unique glimpse into the filmmaking process and will engage movie fans and serious film students alike. Kurt Luedtke's first screenplay was Absence of Malice. He has also adapted The Chinese: A Portrait of a People for CBS-TV and Schindler's List. Sydney Pollack's fourteen films to date include Tootsie, Absence of Malice, The Electric Horseman, Three Days of the Condor, The Way We Were, Jeremiah Johnson, and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' - from the rear outer jacket.
