A defrocked priest turned tour guide (Richard Burton) arrives in Mexico to face a moral crisis in the form of an earthy hotel owner (Ava Gardner), a sexy young woman (Sue Lyon) and an idealistic artist (Deborah Kerr).

Outstanding performances elevate this complex story into a moving meditation on human frailty and sexual repression, filmed in black and white.

‘Performances by Richard Burton, Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr are superlative in demanding roles. Direction by John Huston is resourceful and dynamic as he sympathetically weaves together the often-vague and philosophical threads that mark Tennessee Williams’ writing.’ – Variety

Available as a 4-film Tennessee Williams Spotlight pass with Suddenly, Last Summer, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, and A Streetcar Named Desire.
