Ava Gardner should have got an Oscar for her outstanding performance. Always overlooked due to her out of this world beauty!

[@frankmarter6845]

Ava Gardner was spectacular in this movie. She played herself. Beauty unparalleled.

[@sedoff1948]

A pleasure to see this video. “Iguana” is probably my favorite movie. Tennessee, Huston, Burton, Ava and Deborah all in a marvelous setting of a long gone era. Thanks.

Really underrated and forgotten film

[@roundaboutwithdan8649]

My favorite movie of all time!

[@wilderheartland3920]

I saw this film as a child and it enchanted me. I would give just about anything to know Mexico when it was so pure.

[@teetarquin7012]

Great director! He knew exactly how to get the best from the actors.

[@tommyodonovan3883]

Great movie....And as always it is the director and then the World Class acting that we must give credit.

[@jays2035]

been to the set many times

[@steveegallo3384]

"How calmly does the orange branch....observe the sky begin to blanche....without a cry, without a prayer....with no betrayal of despair...." BRAVO from Mexico City!

The inspiration for Gilligan's Island

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

Richard Burton has Ava Gardner in the day and Sue Lyon at night. Elizabeth was not amused.

[@dianaloren51]

i dont know why ava gardner maid believed that burton will be willing to be with gardner when he got closer to sue lyon....

Don't know why the commentator couldn't use the Word Mules instead of Burros

[@Alicethewolf2015]

Wonder if any of the actors got attacked by Iguanas on the set while filming?

[@PuertoVallartaVideos]

Iguanas are docile and vegetarian, so no danger there.

[@carmeldelaney1086]

My goodness if I were a man I would choose Liz Taylor a hundred times instead of Sue Lyons ,pretty but insipid!

[@thehapagirl92]

Lol technological age… maybe for the 60’s

[@ilanpi]

John Huston's next movie wasn't as good...

[@variousJnames]

Elizabeth Taylor on set, making sure her husband didn’t break in the up and coming costar, Sue Lyon 😂

[@marilynwillett804]

There was no way she'd leave him alone with Sue Lion, although Sue wasted her beauty on an ugly beast from prison, but they divorced after one year. Liz also was with Burton during his filming of Where Eagle's Dare.

[@PuertoVallartaVideos]

I think Ava was more of a threat.

[@kennethclaar922]

@@PuertoVallartaVideos for sure

[@oliviamartini9700]

Sue Lyon had long ago been "broken in" by the producer of Lolita when she was just 14. What a cesspool Hollywood is.

[@LilBafta]

@@PuertoVallartaVideos she would have pursued Elizabeth just as easy so maybe that would have been of some comfort 😂
