Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (DVD)

Edward Albee's ground-breaking play is brought to the big screen by Mike Nichols in his directing debut. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor star as a failed University professor and his acerbic, shrewish wife. Taking place over the course of a social evening with a younger couple, George and Martha spar and verbally abuse each other in language not heard in American films at that time. Amazingly, the film passed the censor board at the time and began the fall of standards that had shackled Hollywood for decades. A brilliant film; one not to be missed. Special Edition bonus features include: Available Subtitles: English, Spanish, French, Korean, Portuguese, Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 1.0), French (Dolby Digital 1.0), Commentary by directors Mike Nichols and Steven Soderbergh, Commentary by cinematographer Haskell Wexler, Vintage biographical profile: Elizabeth Taylor: An Intimate Portrait, New featurettes: quot;A Daring Work of Raw Excellencequot; and quot;Too Shocking for It's Time' 1966 Mike Nichols interview, Sandy Dennis screen test, and Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton movie trailer gallery.
