112 Levita House Ossulston Street, Camden London

- John Huston (1964)

(The Night of the Iguana)

Seen on DVD in the original language sottotilato in Italian.

A shepherd ( Burton) is removed from the church circuit for a young sheep. It thus becomes a tour guide in Mexico on behalf of God (in trips organized by the parishes), but during one of these trips he happens next un'adolescentella ingrifata sexy and surly leader who quickly takes a dislike to. The situation will explode when they reach the hotel from a friend of the pastor ( Gardner ) ... them all will have to deal with their demons and their loneliness.

Opera Tennessee Williams, as usual murky and suffered the highest levels, with characters destroyed ... but this time Huston there is bad and makes the story somewhat ironic, as a brilliant descent into hell (the little thing was good to Williams) and we attaccu also a happy ending based on the acceptance of its weaknesses is that there own. The script to be honest, a bit latita in credibility in the scene where Burton is tied to the hammock; them the film becomes excessively verbose and theatrical shows in the source horribly (and you use the metaforone frankly excessive), but beyond that point the plot line that is a pleasure.

The director is treated with the same class ever, with framing effect is always right and a wonderful use of the actors. But therein lies the true strength, the cast. All recite from god (my favorite is the Gardner, but they are all flawless female co-star) and Richard Burton appears to have been born for the characters lost and crumpled.
applause.
