A Man for All Seasons

When Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) sought a divorce and remarriage, he thought he could count on the support of Sir Thomas More (Best Actor Oscar-winning Paul Scofield) in splitting the nation from the Catholic Church. The regent didn't reckon with his Lord Chancellor's refusal to compromise either piety or principle, no matter the cost. Adapted by Robert Bolt from his play, this winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and director Fred Zinnemann, co-stars Wendy Hiller, Orson Welles, Susannah York. 120 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; featurette; theatrical trailer.
