Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966)


Released June 22nd in the US.
Filmed in Massachusetts and California.
The story: George and Martha are a pretty unhappy married couple.
They are constantly putting the blame on one another for their missed opportunities and bad behavior.
After a party Marthas' ever-so-important father has given, George and Martha invite over new young couple Nick and Honey.
Nick has recently taken a job with Marthas' father and so she would like to get to know them and see what kind of people they are.
But during the course of the evening, Martha and George cannot control their anger towards one another.
They end up embarrassing themselves and one another, acting like children.
At first, this frightens the young couple. But after more and more drinks, they just end up playing along in an effort to stay as polite as possible.
