Review of A Man for All Seasons (1966) by Brian K — 03 Dec 2010
Theatrical in origins and fairly theatrical in translation; Fred Zinnemann's film works best when actors are monologuing. Luckily for the film, the majority of performances are impressive, particularly Paul Scofield who portrays remarkable conviction and nobility in the role of Thomas More.
But the theatricality is also a criticism, everything feels very staged and rehearsed.
