Night Of The Iguana and Hotel California

I've never seen this movie. Anyone else think it has something to do with Hotel California?:

Some of the lyrics bring up images from the Tennessee Williams/John Huston movie "Night of the Iguana", in particular the "pretty, pretty boys" dancing in the courtyard. Made in 1964, the movie could easily have been seen by members of the band.

You should make it a point to see it. For it's day, it covers a lot of very taboo subjects for the times. Marijuana, homosexuality, group sex (sorry folks, there's no delicate way to say that), alcoholism.

Plus, Ava Gardner is gorgeous. :googly:

The Night of The Iguana was a brilliant film, but I don't really see much of a connection between it and Hotel California by the Eagles. I believe the real Hotel California is in Todos Santos in Baja California. As far as I know, neither Don Henley nor any of his bandmates have ever stayed there. I believe the hotel changed hands about 3 years ago and has undergone extensive renovations. I hear it's quite posh now.
