- 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.
