A defrocked Episcopal clergyman leads a bus-load of middle-aged Baptist women on a tour of the Mexican coast and comes to terms with the failure haunting his life.
Diving into the tropical drama with 'The Night of the Iguana,' directed by John Huston, feels like savoring a complex, exotic dish. Richard Burton's portrayal of the fallen priest is intense, offering layers of flavor that linger long after the credits roll. Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr bring their own distinct spices to the table, making this a rich, contemplative experience that pairs well with a glass of something bold.
