The Night of the Iguana Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Noteworthy for Burton's acerbic performance and Ava's seen-it-all portrayal of an earthy lady.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Mr. Huston has got some scenic beauty of the Mexican coast here and there in black-and-white. But the setting, at the last, becomes monotonous -- just like the all-talk, no-play film.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Though uneven and not as powerful as other Williams-based films, Huston's version benefits from a high-profile cast, headed by Burton, Deborah Kerr, Sue Lyon and best of all Ava Gardner as the lusty hotel owner and Grayson Hall as the repressed lesbian

Christopher Null
This adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play is heavy on melodrama and earnest performances, but weak on dialogue and lasting meaning.

Burton and Gardner star in heavily dramatic John Huston film.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Would play well on a double-bill with Huston's The Misfits.
Variety
Variety Staff
Direction by John Huston is resourceful and dynamic as he sympathetically weaves together the often-vague and philosophical threads that mark Tennessee Williams' writing.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
No one but Tennessee Williams could have concocted it, but anyone other than John Huston should have directed it.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Joe Riddle
The three main female leads (Gardner, Kerr and Hall) help make this the classic it has become. Burton is also terrific as a man who is about "to take the long swim to China."
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Although it's often ignored or outright forgotten, The Night of the Iguana is actually one of the better screen adaptations of a Tennessee Williams work.
TV Guide
Alternately fascinating and boring.
