I was a teenager when this came out. I loved it then, and I love it now.
Liz & Dick are married and he's a college professor. A friend and his wife join them at home, after an earlier campus meeting that the 4 of them had attended.
Between the sarcasm, drinking and the belittling there is an undercurrent of sadness. The love between the two is palpable. My review couldn't give it justice. Read the reviews on IMBD or other sites. It's a classic tale of sorrow. We feel it. (It's not for everyone)

5.0 out of 5 stars Likely the best Blu-ray release of 2016. A stunning restoration of the acclaimed multi-Oscar winning classic!
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
Mike Nichols' amazing masterpiece glows anew on Blu-ray. The result: Outstanding! This new Blu-ray release is so meticulously restored, that every brilliant detail of Haskell Wexler's Oscar-winning cinematography is given full advantage here. We now have a new 'demo disc' if you want to see how gorgeous a B&W film can be on Blu-ray. Warner Bros. continues its recent-streak of grand-slam classic releases on the format with this new presentation, with stunning clarity, crispness, and sharpness that makes viewing this disc like seeing the film for the first time.

It is hard to believe that as of this writing, we are coming upon the 50th anniversary of this seminal film, one that helped the contribute to the long-needed end to the ridiculous censorship that plagued American films for decades. The stinging, biting wit of playwright Edward Albee's 1962 play arrived on the big screen virtually intact, thanks to the care of producer Ernest Lehman (who adapted Albee's play as screenwriter, by barely changing a word, and carefully opening up the action a bit from its proscenium-based origins), and director Mike Nichols who burst on to the big screen with one of the most impressive directorial debuts in this history of cinema. It earned 5 Oscars, including Best Actress for Elizabeth Taylor (richly deserved), who was not yet 34 years old when she took on the challenge of playing the role of Martha opposite Richard Burton as George. Burton and Taylor are both magnificent here, with his carefully nuanced performance likely being the best he ever was on screen, with time proving he was robbed being overlooked as Best Actor by the Motion Picture Academy, as was the film itself. Look at "Virginia Woolf" today vs. the film that did earn the Best Picture Oscar that year (A Man For All Seasons). While non un-impressive the chosen winner seems like a snooze-fest made 25 years earlier, as opposed to this film, with its view on the human condition as timely as ever.

Warner Bros. released a very special DVD edition of this film several years ago, and it looked good for DVD, and came chock full with amazing supplements. The Blu-ray blows the DVD away in every respect in terms of the format's added resolution and better sound quality. Blacks are inky, whites are just perfect, and shadow detail is carefully preserved. The image is more immaculate than it likely was when the first print came off the negative in 1966....it's that perfect. Happily, all the very special features from the DVD are carried over on this new Blu-ray, including 2 great commentaries, one from the late Mr. Wexler, and another one with Director Mike Nichols in conversation with Steven Soderbergh discussing in detail the making of the film, and its legacy. It is riveting to listen to these two talents talk about the film, almost like mentor and student, and it provides a fascinating back-story to understand the context of how difficult it was to make this film, and to have it result in the grand success it was and remains. There are two excellent contemporary 'making-of' pieces, as well as a vintage interview with Nichols being interviewed by Barbara Walters in 1966, screen tests featuring the wonderful Sandy Dennis (who also would win an Oscar for her incredible performance as "Honey"), and a throng of Burton/Taylor trailers with the "Virginia Woolf" trailer thankfully being remastered in HD. One can't complete a review of this film without also acknowledging the rich and bravura performance of Mr. George Segal (the only surviving cast member as of this writing) as Nick. Like everything else in the film, his work is stellar and couldn't possibly be any better. The ensemble work of the cast under Nichols' direction, is a wonder to behold.

All of this makes for an impeccable release. In a time when the major studios are bailing on releasing new classics on Blu-ray, it is always a thrill to receive a new Warner Blu-ray, as they seem to have now set a gold standard of excellence with every great film they release. I didn't know if anything could top their presentation of "The Big Sleep" earlier this year, but now it is "Virginia Woolf" that gets my vote for the very best Blu-ray released thus far in the year. Simply stated, it is riveting cinema, beautifully preserved on Blu-ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest classics in the history of American cinema
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2014

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? stands as one of the most wonderful movies in the history of 60s cinema. Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, George Segal and Sandy Dennis give stellar performances in this sordid drama (Dennis won an Oscar for her performance). George and Martha (played by Burton and Taylor, respectively) have a troubled marriage. They're walking home after a late night party and invite Nick and his wife, Honey (played by Segal and Dennis, respectively) over for a nightcap and a visit, despite the late hour. Nick and Honey find themselves getting mixed up in the marital tension and exchange of cross words between George and Martha. After a while, they end up going out to a roadside diner where more of the drama ensues between George and Martha. (The movie is not suitable for kids to see.)
This movie was shot in glorious black and white to reflect the nature of the story and of the troubled marriage between George and Martha. The extras are great to see. The first two, which are documentaries, provide a wealth of information regarding the production in retrospect, and how the story transferred to the big screen from the play (I learned that the play was great). I have not seen the vintage "Intimate Portrait" of Elizabeth Taylor, or the other extra, but the two documentaries are enough to look at.
It was a wise decision for this movie to be shot in black and white. Reason being, the subject matter would retain all of the drama, and the performances of Burton, Taylor, Segal and Dennis would look a lot better. If this movie had been shot in color, the drama would not stand out, the acting performances would not be dramatic enough, and viewers would have difficulty understanding that the movie is a drama and not a comedy. The first documentary, "Too Shocking for Its Time" touches base on why it was shot in black and white instead of color. Here are several things about that:

1. The movie is a drama. Edward Albee said that when he saw that it was shot in black and white, and asked why it wasn't shot in color, he was told that movies that were dramas had to be shot in black and white, and movies that were musicals and comedies would be shot in color. (This is how it was with movies being made in the 1960s, which makes perfect sense.)
2. Dr. Drew Casper said that the movie's subject matter didn't lend itself to color. He added that the performances of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor would look more awful in black and white instead of color.
3. The cuts, framing and close-ups were another reason for the movie being shot in black and white. For this, the conditioning of how audiences saw drama at that time was that black and white would be more visceral, and that color would be more show-off.
4. In the scene where George and Martha have that bitter argument outside the roadside club, the sky in the background retains its darkness. If in color, the sky wouldn't be dark enough.

I totally agree with all of these things. This movie would not have looked good in color, and the drama would have been missing entirely. All dramas from the 60s look much better in black and white, so that the mood stands out better. I am also glad that this movie was not colorized, because, again, the drama would have been missing entirely from the story.

So, everything about this film is excellent. The acting is superb, and the extras are great to see.

The chemistry is hot! Lord. It’s Burton and Taylor. And can we all agree Burton is so underrated. He is an ACTOR.
Keep your eyes peeled for recommended reading on the bedroom bookshelf. I checked out The Tin Drum and it’s a Fantasic Delightful book!

Radiografía feroz de una pareja que lleva ya años de convivencia a cuestas. Aquí se puede ver que Liz Taylor no era solo una actriz-figurín y se explica uno por qué el inefable y maravilloso Richard Burton se emparejó con esa fiera. Los cuatro actores/actrices están geniales para plasmar lo escrito en esta adaptación de la pieza de teatro de Edward Albee.
El Pasado, el Alcohol y la Rutina nos brindan una excepcional velada de violencia verbal en que las salpicaduras de mierda se reparten por doquier, impregnando a todo bicho viviente que se encuentra en la casa. La desafortunada pareja de invitados, George Segal y Sandy Dennis, también geniales (sobre todo ella).

Classique des classiques d'un duo d'acteur toujours aussi impressionnants même à notre époque , histoire d'un couple névrosé dont la femme aime se lâcher sur la bouteille en envoyant des vacheries à tous va sur son mari et qui ne se gène pas devant le couple d'invité légèrement imbibés eux aussi par l'alcool , ce film vaut vraiment le coup de le (re)découvrir pour celui ou celle qui veut bien supporté de voir un film en noir et blanc , c'est la quatrième collaboration sur les onze entre les deux acteurs . Ils tournèrent pour la première fois ensemble en 1963 dans Hôtel international avant de tomber amoureux sur le tournage de Cléopâtre réalisé par Joseph L. Mankiewicz , Le film a coûté 7,5 millions de dollars une somme très élevée pour l'époque, ce qui en fit le film en noir & blanc le plus cher jamais produit , rien que pour eux deux c'était 1,1 million pour Taylor et 750.000 pour Burton . bon pour le blu-ray je trouve l'image très belle avec un léger grain très supportable quand au son comme d'habitude la piste sonore est meilleur en vo que vf mais le doublage français et vraiment excellent surtout que c'est la vrais vf d'époque , en plus la galette et remplis de bonus tous sous-titrés en français , plus d'une heures sur un documentaire d'époque sur Elizabeth Taylor , des essais , interview du réalisateur et autres ... que du bonheur pour cinéphile

Dieser Film, dieses auf die Leinwand gebannte Teatherstück, fesselte mich zum ersten Mal "of Broadway" in New York 1978. Die Taylor und Burton sind nicht zu übertreffen. Der Film, mit seinen weiteren medialen Möglichkeiten, steigert die Dramatik dieses Stücks nahezu ins unerträgliche. Die Dialoge sind von solcher Heftigkeit, Ehrlichkeit und zugleich menschlicher Gemeinheit, in ihrer Art, den anderen absichtlich verletzen zu wollen, dass es mir "ans Herz griff". Das Ergreifendste aber ist die Erkenntnis, die man im Laufe der Handlung gewinnt: Oh mein Gott - das könnte ja ich selbst sein! Ich würde dieses Stück Lehrern empfehlen, es Schulabgängern vorzuführen und dann darüber zu debattieren, bevor sie "ins Leben entlassen" werden. Keine Sekunde möchte ich missen. Peter A.
