The Night of the Iguana

John Huston - 1964 - USA

  • Stark, striking black & white cinematography by Gabriel Figueroa.
  • Convincing inebriation acting on the part of Richard Burton and Ava Gardner.
  • Trademark Tennessee Williams elements of hothouse sensuality, repression, lapsed faith, culture clash and the redemptive powers of art and nature.
  • One of many very strong but under-appreciated films by John Huston.
  • Gritty, realistic, lived-in location in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
