THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD (1965)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Spying is a sleazy game in this first adaptation of a John Le Carre novel. Burton, here at his very best, is sent over as a double agent in order to give information to discredit an East German spy boss, but all is not as it seems and dirty sacrifices are being made to further British aims.

WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (1966)
Certification15 Our Rating
Burton and Taylor in a screen version of the kind of love-hate relationship which they were famous for in private, a kind of on-screen therapy. Taylor gives what is probably her finest performance as the blowsy harridan Martha, while Burton is not quite so hammy as usual as her angst-ridden college professor husband. The verbal fireworks that occur when they invite a young couple to dinner are surprisingly convincing. A must see classic.
