During the (in)famous opening of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Martha imitates Bette Davis after returning home. As the play progresses, neither George nor Martha could name the title of the film that had the line, “What a dump!” In fact, the correct title for that particular film is Beyond the Forest.
A Toast!
First of all, this film features an Oscar-nominated score that Max Steiner composed.
Beer Two
Sadly, the main heroine, Rosa Moline, acts a lot like Madame Bovary, the notorious heroine from Gustave Flaubert’s controversial classic novel.
Verdict
Finally, beware the dangers of boredom and ennui, or else suffer like Emma Bovary!
