“Steamy Tennessee” The Night of the Iguana
Poolside at WET, located outdoors at W South Beach!
(part of the “Classic, Smooth & Sultry” MBC once-a-month Dive-In series at the W!)
(Directed by John Huston/1964/125mins)
With Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Sue Lyon, Deborah Kerr
John Huston succeeds admirably in translating Tennessee Williams sexy and adventurous play to the big screen. Richard Burton is an ex-clergyman who has been defrocked and is now working as a tour guide for religious sites in Mexico. Along the way, in the midst of his duties, he meets delinquent lolita Charlotte (Sue Lyon), who distracts him to impending chaos for not only the two of them but for all the others involved. . .
