Goldsmith Conducts North: THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY & WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF

The Agony and the Ecstasy is a 1965 film directed by Carol Reed, starring
Charlton Heston as Michelangelo and Rex Harrison as Pope Julius II. The film was partly
based on Irving Stone’s biographical novel of the same name. This film deals with the
conflicts of Michelangelo and Pope Julius II during the painting of the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling.
It also features a soundtrack co-written by prolific composers Alex North and Jerry Goldsmith.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a 1966 American black comedy-drama film directed by
Mike Nichols. The screenplay by Ernest Lehman is an adaptation of the play of the same title by
Edward Albee. It stars Elizabeth Taylor as Martha and Richard Burton as George, with George Segal
as Nick and Sandy Dennis as Honey. The film was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards,
including Best Picture and Best Director for Mike Nichols, and is one of only two films to be
nominated in every eligible category at the Academy Awards (the other being Cimarron).
All the four main actors of the film were nominated in their respective acting categories.

The film won five awards, including a second Academy Award for Best Actress for Elizabeth Taylor
and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Sandy Dennis. However, the film lost
to A Man for All Seasons for the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Adapted
Screenplay awards, and both Richard Burton and George Segal failed to win in their categories.
