    		Nova Scotia

    The film adaptation of Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, comes to Canadian cinemas in 1967. But the plot line shocks the Nova Scotia Board of Film Censors and they are afraid to show it. The film's portrayal of a foul-mouthed and sado-masochistic couple during an hysterical night of physical battles provoked a ban.
