    This is the peak of John Huston's direction and Richard Burton's and Ava Gardner's acting... That this film doesn't regularly appear in people's top films lists baffles me. Any description of the plot wouldn't do it justice - just watch and enjoy...

    Probably my third or fourth favorite Tennessee Williams theatrical adaptation, but that doesn't mean Night of the Iguana isn't a likable and wonderful film.

    There isn't a lot of plot, but there doesn't need to be. This is a character study of a dishonored priest (played by none other than Richard Freakin Burton), and has lovely Deborah Kerr (King and I, From Here to Eternity) and Ava Gardner as his lovely female companions.

    Also, please notice that Iguana was helmed by legendary director John Huston, middle generation of the amazing Hollywood family dynasty.

    If those actors, that director, and that playwright aren't enough to get you to check out this film, nothing could be.

    This is not what you think by the title. As I began watching this I wasn't too sure if I would like it....it ended up turning into a deep story of anguish, guilt, and inner turmoil which, if we allow it, CAN lead us to the importance of not just living, but living to REALLY care for others......also putting God in the picture and knowing HE has purposed us. It's difficult to explain, like I said, pretty deep on the emotional level. I really teared up during a very moving scene......definitely worth the watch if you like Drama and are willing to give it a chance.

    I never grow tired of this film. Hell, I'm a sucker for Richard Burton everything but this is my favourite. Makes me want to quit my job, write poetry and be feckless and reckless and tragic. That is when I'm in a good mood.

    When I start watching it, I need a pina colada nearby.
