A Film Shoot That Made a Resort

Puerto Vallarta was a village of a few thousand until 1963, when The Night of the Iguana was filmed nearby and the press descended on Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Within a decade the town had an international airport.

The clock: Puerto Vallarta keeps UTC−6, on the Jalisco side of a bay whose northern shore, in Nayarit, keeps UTC−7 — an hour's difference across one beach.
