In "Night of the Iguana", Huston Corralled "Top-Talent" with Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, and Deborah Kerr, a bit of Taming (1964) was Imposed by the Code,
but is so Well-Done that Dramatically and Entertainingly the Film's Legacy Survived and Remained Intact.
Tennessee Williams was "Hot-Stuff" in His Era of Heavy Righteousness and Ultra-Conservative Times because He Wrote Plays that Attempted (successfully) to be "In your Face" Satirical Put-Downs of Society, its Rules, and the Place Malcontents must Live.
It's No Surprise that the "Public" Brought with Them Their Secret, or Otherwise, Feelings that Tennessee Boldly Gave a Voice to the "Liberals" who were the Target of the Aforementioned "Right-Wing" Agenda.
It's Also No Surprise and Highly Entertaining the Way the Actors Sink-Their-Teeth into the Characters and are Among the Reasons this Movie is Special.
Despite the Deep-Division with Fans and Critics.
The Only Thing that is Beyond-the-Pale, and Silly, also must have been Seen as Goofy in '64, is the Over-the-Top Display of Mexican Boy-Toys Dancing About Ava Gardner...
while Hissing Like the Snake in the Garden, Forever Tempting and Delivering Sexual Pleasure to a Middle-Aged Woman.
Although the 3 Stars are a Treat from the "Old-School" and seem Almost Flawless, it is a Supporting-Actress that the Oscars Singled-Out to Honor.
The Award was for Grayson Hall, Nominated but Did Not Win. She is 16 Year-Old Sue Lyons Guardian and Chaperone. May Be an In-the-Closet Lesbian Secretly Lusting After the Teenager and Resents Her "Coming-On" to Richard Burton's Not-Defrocked Priest and Sets Out to Ruin Him.
Overall, a Guilty-Pleasure can be Had with the Film that Came at a Time When Things were About to Burst, on that Seemingly Ever-Present Conservative Cultural Prison.
Tennessee with All the Other People in "The Closet" Hiding from the Oppressors would Ultimately Win-Out.
"Viva, the Revolution".
