It's now beyond the rumor stage; Taylor Swift HAS been cast as Joni in "Girls Like Us". 2. Tracy Thorn (Everything But The Girl) will be including her cover of "River" on her upcoming holiday album. River has climbed to the #3 slot in popularity for Joni covers and only trails BYT by about 30. Should take too long for it to overtake BYT, particularly with so many high-profile folks covering it of late.

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I know the lyrics of the song refer to the movie. Richard Burton is the bus driver/preacher who has taken a group of Baptist school teachers on a bus tour to Puerta Vallarta. He is being teased and seduced by the young niece of the leader of the group. The niece is 'the kid in the see-through blouse', played by Sue Lyon in a role similar to 'Lolita', the movie that made Lyon famous. Grayson Hall, who some of you may remember as Dr. Julia Hoffman in the original television series 'Dark Shadows', plays Lyon's self-righteous aunt who is out to ruin Burton. Burton's character has been driven out by his congregation back in the U.S. by scandal surrounding a similar episode with a young Sunday school teacher, 'He could lose his bus. for the same sweet sin, that took his church from him'. So Burton sort of high-jacks the bus and takes the group to a remote resort hotel. Ava Gardner plays the widow who runs the hotel. There are two young Mexican men that Gardner uses to fulfill her sexual needs, 'the widow and her lover-boys, down on the beach'. There are two characters in 'Nigh of the Iguana' that Joni's song does not refer to. Deborah Kerr plays a painter traveling with her grandfather who is a poet, struggling to complete what turns out to be his last poem. Burton is numbing himself with heavy use of alcohol, 'Since the preacher's not dead, dead drunk will have to do!'. Kerr, whose character is almost saintly - chaste and spiritually wise - helps the preacher get through his crisis in a rather unusual way. I had to check Wikipedia for a plot summary because I haven't seen this movie in a long time. The film was adapted from the Tennessee Williams play of the same name.
