Review of A Man for All Seasons (1966) by James H — 20 Aug 2009
An interesting and involving story about Sir Thomas More and his clash with King Henry VIII. From the little I know of the period, the events that transpire are historically accurate. The costumes, the sets etc., are not especially memorable and there is little action. What makes the film enjoyable is the dialogue, notably many of More's arguments. His debates with the sly Cromwell on the law, justice, the Church etc., are quite engaging. The movie feels a lot like a stage production and it is in fact adapted from a play.
I also recommend two of Zinneman's other films: Day of the Jackal, High Noon and [size=-1]From Here To Eternity.[/size].
