Review of The Night of the Iguana (1964) by Anna S — 19 Apr 2008
Being a Tennessee Williams buff... and Maxine Faulk being (probably) my favourite Williams heroine... Ava Gardner looks exactly the way I imagined Maxine to look like while reading the play. It's probably her best role, too. Not much of a Burton or Kerr fan but I have to admit all the performances in the movie do the play justice!
I think my favourite scene in the movie would have to be when Miss Fellowes calls Maxine Shannon's "paramour", to which Maxine replies: "Uh... Miss Fellowes, honey, if paramour means what I think it does, you're gambling with your front teeth..." Check out Ava's facial expression in that scene; too funny.
