Film

[edit]

I've moved the information about the film to The Night of the Iguana (film). This article can therefore be about the play. Count de Ville 19:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lesbian Fellowes?

[edit]

Having just watched the play performed in its entirety, I firstly question the claim that Ms. Fellowes is an "overtly lesbian" character, as the only claims of her homosexuality come in the form of goading/derogatory remarks from Shannon--who chiefly characterizes her as "butch" and a single time in the play makes a play on words including "dykes" purely to provoke her ire. I also dispute that the cited article even claims as much--it appears to be a contemporary review of the play in which the critic deems the character a "latent lesbian", which language itself undermines the "overt" part of "overtly lesbian". For now, I am deleting the line, and moving the cited review to the external links section. Message me on my talk page if you disagree or have a different suggestion.

Upon getting my eyeballs screwed in properly and looking back over the cited Life magazine article, it has become apparent that it is a review not for the play, but for the 1964 film adaptation. As such, I will not be putting it in external links, as it is not actually relevant. Worth noting that the review in question overstates/overinterprets virtually every element of the plot--def not a good source for details of Williams' characterization, even were it for the correct work of art.
