Cocktails with George and Martha
Edward Albee's 1966 movie, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" embarks on a nighttime journey of taunts and challenges, marked by intense peaks and tender moments.
The film commences with the return of George and Martha, a married couple, after a late-night gathering. Martha, portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, casually dismisses the event as a "DumP," before abruptly turning towards George, played by Richard Burton.
Martha believes she's mimicking Bette Davis's performance in a "goddamn Warner Brothers epic," yet her delivery lacks Davis's usual precise enunciation; it's a fleeting remark, devoid of Hollywood diva flair.
In the original 1962 stage production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," actress Uta Hagen meticulously articulated the line, surpassing even Davis herself.
