He's so breath-taking in this clip. Saw (the winner) Paul Scofield in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS recently. A self-satisfied, eyebrow waggling performance, not even a cinder compared to Burton's fire and ice. And while I'm reassigning Awards, let's take Best Supporting from Walter Mattha (who had a LEADING ROLE) and give it to Segal, such a great Nick. Hard to think of a better acted film than VIRGINIA WOOLF. Burton was plain old awesome.
