The most famous real-life couple of the '60s star in the roles of the most famous stage couple of the '60s. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are ideal as malevolent marrieds Martha and George in first-time film director Mike Nichols' searing film of Edward Albee's groundbreaking Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Taylor won her second Academy Award (and New York Film Critics, National Board of Review and British Film Academy Best Actress Awards). Burton, also Oscar-nominated, matches her as her emotionally spent spouse. And George Segal and Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner Sandy Dennis score as the naïve young married couple invited over for drinks only to find themselves dead center in the older couple's destructive path. The movie won a total five Academy Awards and remains after 40 years as shocking and electrifying as ever.
