A classic starring Liz Taylor and her husband at the time, Richard Burton, every single cast member was nominated for an Academy Award. This was also Mike Nichols' directorial debut, followed the next year by The Graduate. Fred Zimmerman had been slated to direct but bailed on the project to direct A Man for All Season instead, the film that beat out Virgina Woolf for the Best Picture Oscar that year. Amazing performances all around and the cinematography is perfect from Haskell Wexler for which he also won the Oscar.
