Oh my god one of the opening scenes!


Just got to see this from the beginning---where she goes immediately to the "lake" in the jungle and no sooner than we see her serenely floating along in a cool looking native boat with a tiny perch for her, hippos suddenly flip the boat, eating all the people onboard, except her! she doesn't scream, flail, or even get near the hippos, and climbs easily but wet onto the shore like nothing happened! Then Jim pops out of the jungle just in time to save her from a jaguar, by beating it mercilessly and (stabbing?) it? (hard to watch) No mention of the fact that she also just survived a hippo tipover and attack! Just off to the quaint cabin in the jungle where she shacks up with Jim and his monkey! Too hilarious....

I remember the rest, but this beginning is somewhat atrocious
