Review of The Night of the Iguana (1964) by Randy P — 13 Jul 2009
Maybe I'm a sucker for Williams, but I really dug this movie. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but I turned on the TV which had previously been tuned to TCM, (imagine that) and this had just started.
Within ten minutes, I knew I was going to stick around to the end. I think it's the fascinating depth in Williams characters. There's always a level deeper than what is being shown, yet his dialogue is often so ambiguous that we are left to fill in the blanks ourselves, making any Williams script an intensely personal experience.
Great performances from Gardner, Burton, and surprisingly Sue Lyon, who had me enchanted just like Burton. A complete surprise, and highly recommended.
