Quote:

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are ideal as malevolent marrieds Martha and George in first-time-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 matches her as her emotionally spent spouse. And George Segal and Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Sandy Dennis score as another couple straying into their destructive path. The movie won a total of five Academy Awards** and remains after five decades a taboo-toppling landmark.

Huge Hige title IMO for WB archive! Have been waiting for great classic Liz films to hit BLU and there aren't enough Mike Nicols films out on BLu.

filmmusic · 03-14-2016, 10:32 PM

Now we have 6 out of these 12 titles released/to be released!

I recently watched a couple of interviews with Mike Nichols, so I've been meaning to watch this.

Nichols does a commentary on the old "Catch-22" DVD with Steven Soderbergh that is among the best I've ever heard.

Their commentary on The Graduate is great too!

Yes, they're definitely starting to live up to the expectations I had for them when they first announced they were releasing BDs.

It would be nice for a summer release. I refuse to watch the DVD ever again.
