b/w four ppl in one room and you glued to tv till last moment trying to understand what they talking about. very good movie

Cinematography buffs will find a lot to admire in this early departure from the static approach many pre-60s camera workers employed. One almost feels that this family drama was shot to be an action movie, though fans of that genre should steer clear. Dramatists will be enamored with Albee's searing dialogue, calling to mind of slew of best picture nominees and winners over the years (American Beauty, Raging Bull, In the Bedroom). Acting fans will find layers and layers to peel off and enjoy as the characters cycle through endlessly imaginative turns of emotion. There's a timeless honesty (underlined by the black and white imagery) that will have you wondering what year the film sprung out from. Both lead and supporting actresses churn out their grittiest, most terrifyingly realistic work, depicting the interior decay of 50s superficiality when met by the newfound freedom of 60s blunt honesty. Both lead and supporting actors perform tiny miracles bringing their hopeless, emotionally destitute men to engaging life.

This film on human relationships are probably deemed mundane in today's much more complex society. Don't expect any comic relief from Geroge Segal. If you do not like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", skip this one.

This film was a landmark at the time (1966) because of language censorship and controversial language. The language seems tame today but the lines retain their acid sting courtesy of playwright Albee. This is Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton at the best they could be and that turns out to be pretty incredible. The film won a total of five Academy Awards for Elizabeth Taylor (her second), Supporting Actress Sandy Dennis, Art Direction, Costume Design and Cinematography. It is also worth noting the incredible nominated work of: Director Mike Nichols (making his directing debut), Supporting Actor George Segal and Alex North's haunting musical score.

Thought it was a well done movie overall...was originally a Tennessee Williams play, whom was very close to Liz Taylor at the time
