Review Wanted: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Is anybody familiar with this DVD? Is the transfer any good? How's the sound? The information I've seen shows that it is in OAR. Is this correct? Is it a flipper? Any worthwhile extras?

By the way, for those who haven't seen this movie, it's a spectacular film (based on an even better play) about a husband and wife playing mind games with each other throughout the course of one drunken evening. A true classic.

Thanks in advance!

the transfer is very good; deep, rich black and good contrast. the audio is ok, a bit harsh at times but the dialog is always understandable. and there's an interesting commentary w/ the cinematographer. if you're a fan of the movie, it's worth owning.

...difficult to believe that this was once considered a very shocking play...

However, the DVD is excellent, Liz and Richard -although both too young(°) for their parts- are on top form, the photography is very beautiful...

(°)...at one time Bette Davis and James Mason were mooted for these roles - they certainly would have made an interesting couple!...
