Review of The Night of the Iguana (1964) by Crystal S — 31 Aug 2009
One thing that fascinates me about John Huston's body of work is the way he sympathizes with his characters, usually men drowned by sorrow and guilt whose dreams blew up on their faces and now only long for self destruction as the only way out.
Yet, this great film is somewhat less pessimistic, more restrained and a lot more hopeful than some of Huston's best exemplifications of inner turmoil.
Richard Burton shows once more the brilliant actor he was.
