Night of the Iguana. I ADORE Tennessee Williams, and this is my favorite from him. Richard Burton is hot, Ava Gardner (who I also adore) is at her absolute best. Terrific character study (plus, you can hear the surf in the background for nearly the entire 2nd half of the movie - just a little bonus),.. and Nonno's last poem ~ enough said.
