   __________Is there a film of Under Milk Wood?   
      
            Under Milk Wood (2015 film) - Wikipedia   
   This was the first feature adaptation of the play since the 1972 film,   
   which starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It was largely filmed   
   in the Pembrokeshire village of Solva during the summer of 2014. Two   
   versions of the film were shot, one in English and the other in Welsh   
   (known as Dan y Wenallt).
