Movie Reviews of The Night of the Iguana
Movie Review: the movie that MADE puerto vallarta hot
Summary: 3 Stars
the film version of tennessee williams's last hit play stars richard burton as a defrocked episcopal priest who cant keep his zipper zipped and winds up a seedy tour guide for americans visiting the then remote mexican village of puerto vallarta. for its time, john hustons film is pretty uncompromising in its depiction of sleaze, and he brings out solid work from ava gardner and sue lyon, but deborah kerr fails to fully bring out the frustrated sexuality of her character. im not a williams lover (hes too in love with his own symbolism for my taste), but i think this was about as good a version of this work as could have been made.
Movie Review: Interesting characters
Summary: 3 Stars
We watched this movie when we vacationed in Pureto Vallarta where it was filmed. It was fun to find the statue in town of the director and travel to a more remote location where it was filmed. The Bonus sections added to the interest.Movie Review: Don't know what the raves are about
Summary: 2 Stars
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 finally trite and simple. Thumbs down.Movie Review: Unwatchable.
Summary: 1 Stars
Richard Burton's character's actions are completely incoherent. Charlotte, who keeps chasing after him, is a little nympho. Her guardian, Miss Fellowes's voice gets on one's nerves after six minutes. If Ava Gardner's hotel is closed for August, why are there maraca-shaking cabana boys at the ready? Are they on retainer?
Deborah Kerr and her grandfather looked like they might have added an interesting element and maybe all of this comes together in one glorious ending but I had no desire to stick it out.
Movie Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
