For fans of old Hollywood, you'll love this movie!
Burton and Taylor are just about at their best here.
The constant jab and poke that these two go for is amazing, both looking the vocabular knock out punch!
It remans one of my all time fav movies to watch.
I encourage everyone who has the slightest interest in how
great the old studios made movies to watch this film!

I always have fun watching boozy George and Martha play "Get the Guest" in one form or another throughout most of the two hours of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" New prof Nick and delicate waif-wife Honey accept a late, late nightcap invite from the dean's daughter, Martha, who happens to be married to has-been history professor George. You can't help feel sorry for Nick and Honey who have no idea what they are in for, as George and Martha hurl the most vicious insults at each other and replay the lowlights of their decaying marriage. In turn, Nick and Honey learn some unsettling things about themselves and their own wedded "bliss."

Elizabeth Taylor as Martha chews up the scenery and her fellow actors, though I hasten to add that I don't mean that pejoratively. You truly believe that she is a drunk, frustrated man-eater, totally disenchanted with her "ol' swampy" bog of a husband who never did live up to her and dean-daddy's expectations. Nick and Honey seem like slight variations on this older couple, and in their self-loathing, George and Martha delight in tearing them down as much as they do each other.

A serious yet wickedly fun portrait of a ruined marriage.

One of the best movies ever made. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor are outstanding. It has some very humorous lines even though the overall movie is rather depressing. I've watched it over and over.

I enjoyed this movie. I like how the directors of the movie move the fear of Virginia to the humbling of Virginia. I like how Burton comes up with his plan to overcome Woolf in the movie. I even wrote a thesis on the movie. My professor loves the article and praises me in her letter that she wrote back to me. The movie shows a side of Taylor that beginning Theatre students are exposed to. All in all, I enjoyed being exposed to an old movie that still has relevance to today. Eric Davis

So many great reviews here that I think my expectations were too high. The performances were amazing, but the action and dialog seemed too theatrical at times (not surprising as this was originally a stage play. I agree with another viewer that it felt overlong. And the denoument (no spoiler here) seemed quite contrived. Still, a classic for its time and place, and undoubtedly a breakthrough in film.
