Review of A Man for All Seasons (1966) by Al D — 22 Jul 2016
Saw this cinematic masterpiece again a few days ago after seeing it on the big screen 12 years ago. Essential filmmaking study...Iconic Oscar winning example of classic 60s international cinema. Robert Bolt, who wrote The Mission, another exceptional period piece with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons, penned this classic.
Follows tensions created between Henry VIII, played by the great Robert Shaw, and his boy the chancellor, Sir Thomas Moore, acted by the Oscar winning beast Paul Scofield. You assuredly missed the fact that John Hurt, who plays the sorry pussy ass coward, Richard Rich, is in fact the same gimp who would have that little alien BURST out of his gut in Ridley Scott's, Alien.
Great cinematography by Ted Moore. They don't make them like that anymore.
