A Man for All Seasons

Movie / Show Details

Fred Zinnemann directed this 1966 British historical drama based on Robert Bolt’s acclaimed play. Paul Scofield stars as Sir Thomas More, the principled Lord Chancellor who finds himself at odds with King Henry VIII over the monarch’s demand that More swear an oath recognizing Henry as Supreme Head of the Church in England. More’s unwavering moral convictions prevent him from complying, setting up a profound conflict between faith and political power. The supporting cast includes Orson Welles, Leo McKern, John Hurt, Corin Redgrave, and Nigel Davenport.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Columbia Pictures with a runtime of two hours and a US Approved rating. The film’s dialogue-driven narrative unfolds with deliberate pacing, presenting the clash between More and the king as a carefully reasoned debate on ethics and conscience.
