Entertainment Reviews:
Boyd's novel was largely interior monologue, and it is fair enough that Boyd's own adaptation should go for something different -- but not for banal dialogue and creaking-farce machinery.

Rating: 2/4 --
This plot, and the attitudes that underlie it, remind me of the patronizing tone of novels set in Africa 50 years ago, about colorful colonials and backward natives. The movie is not overtly racist. But there is an unpleasant undertone.

Just an excuse for Sean Connery to play golf.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Academy Award(r) winner Sean Connery heads an all-star cast in A Good Man in Africa - a wickedly funny comedy about sex, power and colliding cultures. Politics are already strained between English imperialists and the West African government of Kinjanja when womanizing British diplomat Morgan Leafy (Colin Friels) is caught in bed with Celia (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), wife of corrupt Kinjanjan presidential candidate Sam Adekunle (Academy Award(r) winner Louis Gossett Jr.). As punishment, Leafy is forced into bribing an official who has voted down a project that stands to make Adekunle very rich. Leafy thinks hes gotten off easy... until he learns the lone holdout is none other than Kinjanjas own brick wall of integrity, Dr. Alex Murray (Connery). Meanwhile, Leafy must also contend with his absurdly stuffy boss Fanshawe (John Lithgow), Fanshawes lusty wife (Diana Rigg) and their luscious, too friendly daughter! Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as a grand party with wonderful guests!, this wildly witty satire is your invitation to incorruptible entertainment.
