    I have been looking for this program for years.
    I remember it when I was a kid.
    The opening music and the loneliness of an empty set.
    Always felt so melancholy.

    Richard Burton(like his contemporary Lee Marvin) always amazed me because even though he stayed drunk most of the time,still found a way to be a great actor.

    Originally telecast on March 2, 1964. The film was released the following August.

      I got out of active duty in the Army in late July,1964 & I believe, saw it that month! Sometimes, the Army
      got films before their premiere date!

      And a superb natural actress, NOT some airhead bimbo. Stanely Kubrick and John Huston two of the greatest American directors both thought she was essential for key roles in major motion pictures.

    This is priceless rare find of a documentary of behind the scenes, on location, about one of the greatest directors, casts , crew(mostly native Mexicans) of one of the finest films ever . Amazing how much money, time and effort was put into the making of the movie version of Tennessee Williams play The Night of the Iguana . One of many questions comes to mind : Did they pay for many miles of electric lines from whatever grid in Mexico to this remote location or did they use gasoline powered generators ? anyone know ? please any and all replies !

Many people still talk about the movie & in the village of Mismaloya there are still hints & pictures of Richard Burton & Liz Taylor. This movie put Puerto Vallarta on the map.

      @@JBorg-fb3un John Huston retired down in Puerto Vallarta, didn't he? Lovely part of the world. You are lucky indeed. I got my own semi-retiring spot, inspired by the movie, but its on the other side of the world and that's another story. I am amazed nobody ever fixed-up the movie-set where tourists could come stay....there must be a valid reason. It is one of my fav movies and I watch it every year. I adore the Maxine character, Shannon too....I believe they saved each other and had a great life down there. And I always wonder what became of the Hannah Jelks character.

      @@jakeenan Yes. Huston had several homes in the P.V. area. I actually visited his place in downtown P.V. It's still beautiful with a lot of his original interior designs. He also lived south/east in Las Caletas a short boat ride away.
      I often walk over to the movie site, but it really gone to ruin. Someone tried to make a go of it by running a restaurant, but it failed. You'll notice in the movie there's a dock where everything was delivered as well as the actors & crew while making the movie. A few years ago that too was removed as it was rotting. It is sad to see. The house on the hill where the movie takes place is still there & I see it everyday, but the area is fenced off & no one can trespass.

    Ava Gardner's no. 1 toy boy on location topped himself after everybody packed up and left. I got this info from the woman of the American couple who moved into the house she had used. Among other signs of disapproval, a pig was tied to their door and rubbish was thrown in their garden. Gringos had left a sour taste among at least some of the locals.
