The Night of the Iguana may be Richard Burton's finest hour on the screen: beautifully cast as an anguished, defrocked reverend, doomed to his own purgatory in Mexico as tour guide to a group of nattering biddies. (The expression on his face as the ladies warble "Happy Days Are Here Again" on the tour bus is worth a Shakespearian monologue.) John Huston's clean, black-comic adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play is a forceful snapshot of a man down to his last chance, and the superb black-and-white location photography by Gabriel Figueroa captures the end-of-the-world vibe. The women who tempt and taunt the reverend are Ava Gardner (with her maraca-shaking beach boys), Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon. The movie--and its backstage publicity, with Burton and Liz Taylor carrying on their Cleopatra affair--put Puerto Vallarta on the map, but it deserves notice for Burton's gutsy acting and Huston's characteristic sympathy for life's losers. --Robert Horton

Although "The Night of the Iguana" is not considered one of Tennessee Williams's best plays it is nonetheless an interesting piece of work. John Huston's interpretation, starring Richard Burton as the Rev. Dr. T. Lawrence Shannon, Williams's defrocked, alcoholic clergyman, is also not considered one of Huston's best films, but is nonetheless an interesting venture.
Burton gives a steady performance while Ava Gardner is excellent in a limited role as Maxine Faulk, a woman of a certain ... Read More

It is an interesting experiment in story telling in its time as the cast sweats it out along the mexican backroads. However, the dialogue is too broken and confusing many times, there's too much left unsaid in many parts. I didn't feel sympathy or a connection to any of the characters, and the chemistry between them is lacking or stereotyped. I found Ava Gardner hugely annoying with her maraca boys. The characters are largely too flighty and emotional, and worst of all the whole iguana motiff is ... Read More

A wonderful movie with old time charm. Done in Black and White it was very facinating to see how this movie could have been such a big success when colored films were already the big hit. I would recommend this movie to all movie buffs.

What a blessing Huston provides with this film beautifully shot in Mexico. It is so superbly cast and the script so content-rich that it is a gem for the collection, as it keeps giving and giving, easy to watch over the years as it was the first time to see. Richard Burton plays a defrocked priest in a humorous downward spiral who redirects a tour bus full of uptight Christian women to a run-down, off-season hotel owned by the magnificent, wildcat Ava Gardner in easily her best role. Also in play ... Read More

We watched Night of the Iguana, because we were going to visit Puerto Vallarta.... where it was filmed. Very slow movie. No Plot. Not good scenery, or anything. This movie has few redeeming qualities.
