Character Development | |
| Out of Africa / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Karen begins by marrying Bror so that she can be a baroness and very much attached to fine things. Near the end she admits to Denys that she was beginning to like living without them. Denys had previously admitted that Karen had ruined being alone for him. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
| Out of Africa / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Robert Redford actually wanted to try for an English accent but eventually it was decided that he wasn't very good at it. Some of his lines were looped in accent-free in post-production. There's still a trace of an English accent in some of his lines in his first scene. | |

| Out of Africa / int_53034c21 | comment |
Great White Hunter: Denys Finch-Hatton, although he's not brutal about it, declining to shoot a lioness that is menacing Karen. Bror quickly tires of farming and says he will become this. | |

Marriage of Convenience | |
| Out of Africa / int_9b34ee31 | comment |
Marriage of Convenience: Bror is a baron who doesn't have any money, and Karen is an heiress who wants to get out from under the thumb of her family. It seems like a good deal, although Karen probably changed her mind right around the time Bror gave her syphilis. | |
