651.0. "A Good Man In Africa" by 4262::HASBROUCK () Wed Sep 14 1994 21:12

A boyish British diplomat in Africa jousts with a crooked politician, a 
boss from hell,  an incorruptable bush doctor, and multiple partners.  It's
another British bachelor comedy, really.  The humor is about at the level and
pace of "Four Weddings and a Funeral".  There's less romance, and charm, in 
this one, and much of the Afro-Brit culture clashing is racist.  And funny.
Sean Connery has a modest cameo.  You expect and hope to see more of him, but 
don't.  John Lithgow hams it up as a fobbing British diplomat.  A
visiting dutchess rants - "That accent doesn't fool me one bit".
