I like it and thanks for the upload. I wish they filmed a version with Jessica Tandy and Angela Lansbury. They both did it on stage at different points.
Wonderful play....if not very disturbing. I am very familiar with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", but I must admit I had never heard of this play by Albee. I have a new appreciation for his work. It makes me want to see all his plays. Thanks for posting!
He's marvelous. I recommend Three Tall Women, Seascape, The Goat or Who Is Sylvia?, and A Delicate Balance. His plays from this period are very difficult technically, and I have to think they benefitted from actors familiar with the cadence and tonality of New England language.
Did Albee really believe this one was interesting? “Delicate Balance” was talky and subtle, but the characters weren’t boring. “All Over” just lays there.
Not a bad point. While “Seascape” was a hit and won the Pulitzer in ‘75 the 70s and 80s were Albee’s low point. This ran for only 40 performances. “The Lady from Dubuque” crashed and burned with 12 and “The Man with the Three Arms” closed after 16. “Three Tall Women” brought him back in 1990. I’d love to see a professional, filmed version of that.
17:45: Stopped the Intravenous Feeding Letting Him Stave to Death. Always Disturbing. How Common Is it? Is it Acceptable at Certain Stages? Very Squeamish and Uncomfortable and is it Goddamn Necessary?
A master class in superb acting, esp Myra Carter (the Mistress). Thank you for posting; I enjoyed all of it.
I've been waiting to see it again for so long! Thanks for uploading this.

I have written plays but my most cherished musical wshall be backed by those i wrote for middle east culture and most open that side first,
Imdb has this under "Great Performances 1971-present." Not "American Playhouse"
IMDb is correct. American Playhouse debuted in 1982. This was part of Great Performances.
Credits at 1:47:10.
Audio inaudible.
