 Theres a scene in the movie where Meryl Streep (qv)s character,  Karen Blixen (qv), is traveling across dangerous terrain in Kenya  to bring supply wagons to her husbands regiment. During the night,  a lion attacks one of the oxen and Karen tries to fight it off with  a whip. Streep was assured that the lion actor would be tethered by  one of his back legs so he couldnt get too close. But when they  actually shot the scene, the lion had no restraint. The camera  captured genuine fear on Streeps face when the lion got closer than  she anticipated.
