Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Some plays don't translate well to film, but this absolutely does. Both Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor are spectacular. George Segal and Sandy Dennis also do a commendable job sharing the screen which such powerhouses. This is Mike Nichols directorial debut, and I think best film. You can see a lot of the camera shots and mis en scene that would later be used to great effect in The Graduate. One can't help but wonder if Taylor and Burton's tumultuous marriage in real life was the source of their acting inspiration.
