“Producer-director Fred Zinnemann has blended all filmmaking elements into an excellent, handsome and stirring film version of A Man For All Seasons. Robert Bolt adapted his 1960 play, a timeless, personal conflict based on the 16th century politico-religious situation between adulterous King Henry VIII and Catholic Sir Thomas More.”
—Variety
“An awesome view of a sturdy conscience and a steadfast heart…Mr. Scofield manages to use the glowing words of Mr. Bolt and his own histrionic magnificence to give a luminescence and power, integrity and honor, to this man who will not ‘yes’ his King.”
—Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
Robert Bolt’s prize-winning A Man for All Seasons (1966) is brought to the screen in sterling style by the great Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity), with the sublime Paul Scofield starring as Sir Thomas More, wit, politician, martyr, and man of conscience. Refusing to go against his own beliefs by signing an oath declaring Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) Supreme Head of the Church of England, More is a tragic hero with all-too-human attributes. Also starring Wendy Hiller, Leo McKern, Orson Welles, Susannah York, John Hurt, and Vanessa Redgrave. The production features Georges Delerue’s memorable score, and won Academy Awards® for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Ted Moore), and Best Costume Design (Elizabeth Haffenden, Joan Bridge).
