Abstract

"Cocktails with George and Martha: Movies, Marriage and the Making of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Philip Gefter is an engaging book that explores the creation of the 1966 film adaptation of Edward Albee's play. The book delves into the scandal and cultural shifts surrounding the play, as well as the daily production journals of Ernest Lehman, the novelist who wrote and produced the film. It highlights the challenges faced by director Mike Nichols and the power couple Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and ultimately, the film's success and impact. [Extracted from the article]
