WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (1966)

One night late after a dinner party a quarrelling couple, the washed-out History professor George (Richard Burton) and his bitter alcoholic wife Martha (Elizabeth Taylor), is about to receive guests.  When the guests, the new Biology professor Nick (George Segal) and his wife Honey (Sandy Dennis), arrive they find the hosts mocking each other in overt malicious intent.  This makes the guests very uncomfortable, but the awkward feeling is drowned in alcohol and further sarcasm.  Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is an emotional drama that provides an uncomfortably good performance that will stun the audience.
