The Night of the Iguana is a 1964 film based on the 1961 play The Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams. Directed by John Huston, it starred Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, and Deborah Kerr. It won the 1964 Academy Award for Best Costume Design, and was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Actress Grayson Hall received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and Cyril Delevanti received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The film drew considerable attention for stories around its production, since Richard Burton had brought his soon-to-be-wife Elizabeth Taylor to the location shoot. The filming attracted large numbers of paparazzi, and turned the city of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico into a world-famous tourist attraction

a lot of today's youngsters would actually appreciate them.

Grayson Hall got nominated for her performance in this film, and deserved it. If not for the fact that Agnes Moorehead was also nominated for ''Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte'', the two would not have split the vote, allowing Ms. Kedrick to win it for ''Zorba the Greek''.

The great film actress Deborah Kerr was nominated 6 times for the Best Actress Oscar (and these didn't even include her best performances in "Black Narcissus" and, especially, "The Innocents"), but she never won. During the 1960's (unlike, today), "stars" were never nominated by the Academy Awards for Supporting Oscars. If so, Kerr would have finally won for this role.
