Review of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) by Mark Karl H — 31 Oct 2009
George and Martha like a drink. Taylor is Martha and Burton is George. He is a professor at a University where George Segal and Sandy Dennis pitch up as a young new professor and his rather delicate wife.
George and Martha are pretty tanked up and already taking bitesized lumps out of each other before Segal and Dennis arrive for drinks and all hell breaks loose. Elizabeth Taylor is magnificent as Martha eclipsing anything she had ever done before.
This is no Movie star playing a carefully constructed facade of a character its a fantastic display of acting talent, Taylor lets rip but ultimately is the one left in the most pain. Based on an Edward Albee play this is screen acting at it's finest.
