The frankness of the dialogue no doubt marks a forward plunge for commercial American cinema, ca. 1966, although this advance is made rather safely behind the stout reputation of the Edward Albee stage play, a witty and withering view of the home life of college professors and wives. Richard Burton, mussed-up and bilious, and Elizabeth Taylor, her hair tangled and figure overstuffed, are the older, tenured couple; George Segal and Sandy Dennis, newcomers on campus, are their goofily uneasy guests in Mike Nichols's first film, shot in arty charcoal grays by Haskell Wexler. (1966) — Duncan Shepherd
