Welcome to her ‘Jungle’

IN ancient civilization — when ladies’ hems covered their navel — “The African Queen” movie existed with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. The idea’s back with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt (at left) in the new “Jungle Cruise.” The location changed. Now they’re schlepping down the Amazon — the South American river not the delivery service — searching for some ancient tree that has healing powers. A discovery that will change the future of medicine. Lotsa luck. May grouchy Fauci be their pharmacist.

Emily: “It’s like a film you saw growing up. That’s why it feels perfect. It’s infectious.”

Miss Blunt: “To be blunt, ‘infectious’ is the wrong word right now.”
