waovw a dark gritty movie worth seeing every 40 years, not recommended for light entertainment but magnificent writing and performances. won a tony as a play. had all 4 major performances nominated for Oscar. ms dennis and Elizabeth taylor won. Richard burton was edged out by paul Scofield in a man for all seasons one of 6 best actor Oscar misses after nomination for burton, add I miss for best supporting actor Oscar. 0 for 7. he won 1 tony for best actor in a musical camelot( out of 3 nominations). he won a grammy for a children’s recording.
Hey bob cox. I have seen 8 of her movies, so I double your total. Funny line about seeing Va Woolf? every 40 years….that means I am due to watch it in 2047…..since I have only seen it once so far. I can easily wait that long to see it again. I think that was Burton’s best chance for an Oscar. His career really went downhill after that one. Up The Down Staircase is very dated….but I think it is one of favorite of her performances. Good stuff as always.
