They called him Mr Tibbs!

One of my favourite films ever is "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf", based on a successful stage play.

If you haven't seen it I would recommend it. Absolute tour de force in mind games and visciousness from Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Both on top form getting one over on each other whilst entertaining a naive young George Segal and Sandy Dennis.

 

Looks to be a good one, wonder what the title means. Wasn't Virginia Woolf a spare-rib tickler?

 

Yeah, she was. Feminist English writer.

 

Yeah I know that, but can you explain the peculiar title?

 

I believe its a play on words. Comes from "who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" which Taylor's character was consumed by. I don't know any more than that though.

 

Thought it was a dinner party?

 

Something you might not know, he directed Stir Crazy.

You've seen Stir Crazy, right!

 

Yes years ago.

 

Stir Crazy is a great film.

 

Jimmy Tibbs? Used to be Nigel Benn's trainer.

A very well-connected chap.
