Okay, I’m guessing that not many people have seen either movie “The Spy Who Came In From The Cold” or especially “The Night Of The Iguana”, so to bring some clarity to today’s comic:

“The Night Of The Iguana” was originally a play written by Tennessee Williams. After a stint on Broadway it was brought to the big screen in 1964 starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Sue Lyon and Grayson Hall. It was directed by the legendary John Huston, was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and it won an Oscar for Best Costume Design.

The plot? Burton plays a defrocked Episcopal Clergyman who had a relationship with a very young Sunday school teacher. Having to leave the church, he wound up as a tour guide for a Texas based seedy touring company. On one tour he takes a group of Baptist schoolteachers to a cheap Costa Verde hotel in Mismaloya. While there, he struggles with a young girl attempting to seduce him, the bawdy hotel owner and a chaste painter from Nantucket.

Needless to say, despite my most fervent hopes, there were no giant monster iguanas terrorizing the country side.
