Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers / Chenault, 1965. Final script for the 1966 film. Lacking the final page of narrative text, clearly as either used or issued.

Based on the 1963 Tony Award-winning play by Edward Albee, which follows one bitter night of domestic unrest between an emotionally scarred college professor and his hard-drinking wife. Nichols' directorial debut, and the first film to be given the MPAA tag "No one under 18 will be admitted unless accompanied by an adult," challenging the Production Code Office and essentially leading to its demise. Nominated for 13 Academy Awards, and winning five, including Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for Elizabeth Taylor and Sandy Dennis, respectively.

Set on the campus of a small New England college, and shot on location in Northampton, Southampton, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
