A history professor and his wife entertain a young couple who are new to the university's faculty. As the drinks flow, secrets come to light, and the middle-aged couple unload onto their guests the full force of the bitterness, dysfunction, and animosity that defines their marriage.

Why it matters

Mike Nichols's film adaptation of Edward Albee's play is a raw, four-letter-word-filled night of marital warfare, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton at their most ferocious.
