Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf? (1966)
Directed by Mike
Nichols this film based on the play of the same name stars Elizabeth
Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal and Sandy Dennis. An older
married couple host a younger married couple for drinks after a party
at a small New England college.
Clearly the main draw
here is seeing Taylor and Burton go at each other hammer and tongs
which may or may not have been similar to their personal lives.
Largely the script is very similar to the play on which it is based
but does add in a few more locations to give us some variety. The
film looks great in black and white but it is the central
performances that you can not get away from.
4/5
