Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)
Country: US
Technical: bw 129m
Director: Mike Nichols
Cast: Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, George Segal, Sandy Dennis
Synopsis:
A college professor and his wife invite a new couple on the campus back to their house after a faculty party, and a night's drinking leads to uncomfortable truths and humiliations.
Review:
A play about the need to face up to reality, however cruel, is translated to the screen with considerable grace and subtlety, not only capturing the essence of the much longer original, but cannily exploiting the at times stormy relationship of Burton and Taylor, who here give their best screen performances together.
