hugely atmospheric and charged interplay
Having read the play and been transported to the steamy jungle of mexico and the desperate lonilness and sexual chemistry between the characters, so brilliantly drawn by tenessee williams, I was nervous of a film that might wreck my image. This however is an excellent and vivid portrayal of the play. The performances of Richard Burton and Ava Gardener are a tour de force, the dialogue and chemistry keeping you gripped throughout as the tradegy unfolds.
