The 1966 film "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (based on the award winning 1962 play, and still frequently revived on stage today) itself won five Academy Awards. I consider it to be among the two most emotionally draining films I've ever seen, and the most accurate portrayal of a complex "real life at home" situation as well.
Starring Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Sandy Dennis, and George Segal, with the first two as far from looking and behaving "glamorous" as could possibly be imagined, the topic of the story seems prosaic enough.
A middle-aged couple (the husband a college professor) invites a new professor and his wife to their home after a college party. The results shocked playgoers and sent the MPAA into convulsions when they attempted to deal with the language and sexual content of the film, which was very far beyond any kind of norm at the time.
Even now, the film has enormous impact, as you watch the four characters descend into a kind of booze-induced madness.
I strongly recommend this film. It is available to view in the usual places.
