A Man For All Seasons
1966
Thomas More, Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor, refuses to endorse the king's break with Rome and his divorce, choosing execution over the surrender of his conscience. Fred Zinnemann's stately adaptation of Robert Bolt's play is a dignified drama of moral courage, with Paul Scofield's performance as More at its centre.
