@RichardElden What a horribly cruel thing to post! Even if you don't appreciate someone's acting ability (or lack thereof), why would you wish a painful illness and death upon that person?
I watched this at the tender age of 6,along with those mopey Bergman movies.It probably explains everything.I'd rather be half of a couple like Taylor/Burton than the younger pair.Train wrecks have charisma and character,at least some.
@Tinymissy Yeah. And it's not unique with Albee, either. His first big play, THE ZOO STORY, was all about one guy haranguing another guy on a park bench. Which begs the question: why didn't the other guy just walk away?
Taylor and Burton both have their share of haters -- And regardless of what they say about any other performances they have given, I defy those haters to criticize Taylor's and Burton's phenomenal performances in this film. Absolutely wonderful.
@feelgoodaboutit While both of them totally deserved Oscars, NEITHER was awarded one for Virginia Wolfe. It's been said that because they were fooling around with each other (during the making of the film) while being married to other people killed their chances of Oscar gold that year....
@colderbeer - Actually Elizabeth Taylor won the Academy award for Best Actress in Virginia Woolf. Richard was nominated for Best Actor in the film, but lost to Paul Scofield in A Man for All Seasons. As for their fooling around, sometimes attention draws interest, and with that comes viewers. I'm sure those interested in the famous couple was outweighed by the brown noses that would stay home because of their affair, as she did win the Academy award.
@feelgoodaboutit Thank-you, and of course you're right. It was a crime that Burton didn't win as well. The scenes in this movie are amazingly long and so compelling....with very few breaks....and tons of dialogue between the Taylor and Burton. Can you imagine trying to memorize all of those lines? Movies in today's era have scenes that are so brief in comparison....
@colderbeer Yes, and even though Richard Burton had stage training and experience, Elizabeth Taylor wasn't a stage actress at all, came up as a girl from the Hollywood studio system.
But, clearly, Taylor must have studied acting somewhere along the line, taken some classes at the Actor's Studio or at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Because this is basically a filmed play, which required a level of proficiency not normally held by mere film actors.
who's afraid of this trailer?

Look at how different this trailer is from most that you've ever seen. It even repeats the entire sequence! Bold genius!

@goback3spaces Because it was more fun and interesting to stay and witness the train wreck going on that night between Taylor and Burton.
