...absolute delight to watch the most perverse of playwrights tell a tale in which the nadir of naughtiness is attained by a man with a harmless though peculiar passion for ladies' underwear. Huston, what's more keeps Iguana scuttling along at a right smart rate, and as always he shrewdly challenges his actors with delegated creativity. They all respond. Kerr lends charm and finesse to a meaching masochist. As for Burton, he makes more sense in this movie than he has in his last half-dozen efforts. He has a light in his eye, a line...

Smart merchandising counts most in the wax business, and Johnson is usually a stride ahead of competitors. It was among the first to switch from natural waxes to lower-cost synthetics in 1950, turned to aerosols (now 70% of industry sales) while competitors clung to older wipe-on waxes and polishes. The company raised its research and development staff from 100 to 300 in the past ten years...
