HAD BEEN FOLDED AND HAS SOME HOLES SIZE:27X41 The Night of the Iguana is a 1964 film based on the play by Tennessee Williams. Set in 1940s Mexico, the main character is an ex-Episcopalian minister turned tour guide, the Reverend Dr. T. Lawrence Shannon (Richard Burton), who was defrocked after having an inappropriate relationship in Virginia with "a very young Sunday school teacher," in his own words. Shannon, now a tour guide for Blake Tours in Texas, takes a group of Baptist School teachers to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. During the trip, he is accused by the leader of the group, Judith Fellows (Grayson Hall), of trying to seduce her seventeen-year-old niece Charlotte Goodall (Sue Lyon)—who in reality is coming on to him—and is fired. In a moment of despair, Shannon shanghais the bus and occupants and takes it to the Costa Verde Hotel in Mismaloya, which is owned by outspoken Maxine Faulk (Ava Gardner). Between his weaknesses for the flesh and alcohol, Shannon is "at the end of his rope," just like the iguana kept tied by Maxine's cabana boys. In this setting, Shannon experiences a night of despair and madness, from which only the care and advice of itinerant painter Hannah Jelkes (Deborah Kerr), the poetry of Jelkes' grandfather Nonno (Cyril Delevanti), and the eventual companionship of Maxine will help him overcome. |
