Review of A Man for All Seasons (1966) by Dan Y — 16 Apr 2010
What happens when an absolute monarch is pitted against the only honest man in his Kingdom? Henry VIII runs afoul of Sir Thomas More and the religious establishment as Christian principle confronts political pragmatism.
Unforgettable acting by Paul Schofield, Wendy Hiller, Robert Shaw and John Hurt make Robert Bolt's screenplay more compelling that any contemporary political coverage. Don't miss a word of dialogue when Sir Thomas in on trial for his life, and he confronts his accuser.
