"A Man for All Seasons." A film full of truly great performances by great actors. Paul Schofield (More); Henry VIII; Leo McKern (Cromwell); John Hurt (Richard Rich); Vanessa Redgrave (Anne Boleyn); Orson Wells (Cardinal Wolsey); and many others. This review is lowbrow. IMO, this is one of the triumphs of modern filmaking. Anyone who doesn't think deeply about his faith, and who doesn't admire Schofield's version of More is missing one of the intellectual and religious triumphs of film history. My main objection is that Shaw makes Henry such a devil that the possibility of he was sincere (which I consider arguable at least) is never really allowed for as a possibility which would have made the firm more of a real tragedy, instead of a melodrama. flickfilosopher.com
