Even though her health had been deteriorating for years, I was still kind of shocked to read this.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is prob. my favorite movie of all-time.
A Place in the Sun is another favorite. The problem I had with Suddenly Last Summer & Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is that they went to such lengths to purge the films of any reference to homosexuality, that they ended up not making much sense.
