If you think you might be watching a production of Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf
I couldn't blame you. It's what instantly hit me looking Regina Roma with Ava
Gardner and Anthony Quinn, the Martha and George of this piece.
Maybe seeing what Virignia Woolf did for Elizabeth Taylor's career convinced Ava to sign on for this four character drama. She and Tony are great, but the rest of the film is strictly ho-hum.
Tony and Ava are awaiting the arrival of their son Ray Sharkey only Sharkey is bringing Anna Karina and he announces their engagement.
In less than 90 minutes all the family secrets get aired. Just like Virginia Woolf.
The production values are strictly from Hollywood Poverty row days. Virginia Woolf is a mostly talk in the living room, but the sets were top rate. Here the cheapness of production is very apparent.
Fans of Tony and Ava should see this. Others take it or leave it.
