Judith about to run down the hill to the waiting bus...she stops for a second, slaps her thigh, then moves on.


Judith's last scene. Maxine ends up running down the hill after her...


...not to apologize...


...but to settle the bill, of course! 


Money issues resolved, Maxine is glad to see the group leave, and even offers a bit of wry advice about the next place they'll be visiting....


And then Judith and the church group go off into the sunset, never to be seen again...
I still wonder what would have happened to our Miss Fellowes...(I've had a couple follow-up story ideas in the past, but never had the nerve to write them!  )

Anyhoo, that was just an overview of the plethora of captures I took of the Divine One, etc, from this film...got about 650 at least. Yikes...

P.S. Can't wait to read more about this movie and so much, much, more in J99's upcoming bio of that divine redhead!  Save up your money now kids!  Thank you all, and good day... 

Shannon's reaction during all this...am I the only one who was reminded of Barnabas pouting when I saw this? {lol}


More close-ups of Judith. I love how she gives everyone "the hand," shushing everyone and emphasizing her point at the same time...


And of course her hearty laugh at the end of her tirade, when she declares Reverend Shannon "DEFROCKED!" [wink to J-C]


I got a kick outta the look on Judith's face after Maxine later declares (I'm partly paraphrasing here): "Well, if you're not gonna eat him, then I better get us some food..."


And then, even later on, the look on Judith's face when Maxine offers her some pot (and interestingly enough, Judith has slipped into a Julia-esque type of outfit at that point...a striped Jacket/skirt and plain shell combo...)

Judith hot and bothered to no end...


I had to include this - it's a bit hard to see because there is only a bird's eye view of this scene, but it's supposed to be the moment when Judith is beating the driver over the head with her purse...



Determined, buttoned-up, jaw-set Judith confronting Shannon and and the owner (Maxine Faulk - played by Ava Gardner) of a seasonal hotel he's chummy with...


A bit after that, the Rev. confronts Judith about staying at the hotel he'd dumped them at, for now...Oh, He'll regret giving her "the hand" right there. 


Maxine pops back into the scene, putting on the best charm she can...Judith's reaction is priceless. 

Judith confronts Charlotte, who "deliberately defied" her...


Grayson's "slapping hand" gets some action....


I don't know why, but this particular moment got me choked up when I look back at it...Judith gets so upset, and even though she does eek out a couple retorts, I don't think she can can really verbalize or comprehend at this point everything that is going on in her head.
I luv complex characters... and Grayson does them SO well.


Later on, after the group settles into a stuffy hotel for the night...
Judith slips into her jammies.  


Happier Judith (for a moment anyway)...

These are some captures from the 1964 film THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA, featuring the Academy Award nominated actress, Grayson Hall... 

Grayson of course plays Miss Judith Fellowes, an uptight yet spirited teacher (and later hinted at, a repressed lesbian) from Texas who is in charge of a church group that are on a tour of Mexico...accompanying them is a young bitchy temptress (Charlotte Goodall - played by Sue Lyon), whom Judith is chaperoning on the trip. Charlotte has eyes for any man around, especially the one who is leading their tour group (Rev. Shannon of "Blake's Tours." - played by Richard Burton).

Random comments/descriptions (not intended to be captions) by moi may accompany some of these...if any of these go against forum rules, I give the gods and goddessess of the forum full permission to smite my naughty behind....



Judith's first scene:


Judith livens up the bus ride:


Save for the 'straight-ass/overdressed for the opressive heat' outfit, I thought Grayson almost looked like Pepe (from SATAN IN HIGH HEELS) right here:


If glares could kill, that ceiling would be dead...

oh dammit...
my luck (and timing) has been so gawd awful this month it isn't even funny...
thanks for offering though

Belated Happy Birthday, nancy! Sorry I missed it...   
xo

OMG - I have another DS twin... 
Many thanks to those who offered up birthday wishes....it wasn't a great day unfortunately (loong story), but I really appreciate the kind thoughts. 
Now, instead of totally splurging on chocolate, I'm setting some of my b-day money aside for J99's upcoming bio of that divine redhead we all know and love...because that's all that really matters, ya know?  

Unabashedly plugging all things Grayson when I can,
Thankfully yours,
