A Man for All Seasons


Year: 1966

Genre: Historical Drama

Starring: Paul Scofield, Wendy Hiller, Robert Shaw, Jack Gwillim

Dave - 3 Stars - Some great acting, surrounded by weaknesses

Lexie - 4 Stars - Amazingly well-written play about the king's "Great Matter," I appreciate the consideration of historical context though it often strayed from truth; Paul Scofield played Thomas More brilliantly through quiet, contemplative speech; Robert Shaw is exactly how I picture Henry VIII--awe strikingly tempestuous, I only wish he had more scenes.
