You mean "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?", a play written by
Edward Albee which opened on Broadway in 1962, and is considered to be Albee's greatest work, with Uta Hagen, Arthur Hill, Melinda Dillon and George Grizzard in the original Broadway cast. In 1966, this was transposed to the movie screen with
Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal and Sandy Dennis in the cast, and directed by Mike Nichols. Elizabeth Taylor received her fifth Oscar nomination, and won her second Academiy Award for her role as Martha, the emotionally overburdened and alcoholic wife of a college professor played by Richard Burton. George Segal and Sandy Dennis played the couple invited to dinner and preyed upon by the emotionally distraught middle-aged couple.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this play, the movie (Beth and dick gave me chills) and the book...
I practically have it memorized.
What exactly do you want to know?
It also reminds me a lot of (although not the same exactly) of "The Lion In Winter." With Katherin Hepburn.
I grew up with parents like these and from beginning to end this entire thing fascinated me. Everytime it is on television it is a popcorn tv and me night... Love it. it is just like a train wreck, you just can't look away.

I avoided watching the film for years thinking it would be like her books, but in the end someone told me part of the plot and I decided to watch it. It was good, but I still maintain the book I read was deadly

She was a pretty creepy woman. Her diaries, in particular, are full of disparaging references to people's racial origin and in one entry I can remember reading (before I finally threw the book away) she advocated putting the mentally deficient to death. The tone and strucutre of her novels make it pretty clear that she was deranged, as it later proved. I wouldn't have wanted to meet her in the flesh.

Leonard Woolfe, her husband. He was Jewish and she kept on and on about how she couldn't stand Jews.
