Im looking for an old movie name.. help!?

I saw this movie in the late 90's when i must have been 6,7ish.

In the movie there's this beautiful young couple, but the dude, i think its cheating on his girl with another. The couple take a ride out on a boat to see crocodiles in swamps, the dude pushes his girl over board and a pack a crocodiles in matter of seconds attack her and she is lost, the dude just carry's on down the swamp. him and his chick on the side get together.

meanwhile a resident, near the swamps, an old man, finds this girl, barely alive. i think hes a retired doctor so he quickly tries to save her life. her face is completely ruined, as is most of her body, but the old man, gets busy trying to help her recover and after long operations he manged to restore her beauty and she becomes completely a new person, unrecognizable and truly stunning. she slowly recovers her memory and goes to find her ex(fiance) and his new broad. i cant remember more detail but i think she gets him back and gets her life back in the end.

its a good movie.

i'm not too sure but the movie is either American, or Italian.

Anybody knows the movie..?

Thanks
