The story takes place in sixteenth century England. But men like Sir Thomas More, who love life yet have the moral fiber to lay down their lives for their principles, are found in every century. Concentrating on the last seven years of the English Chancellor's life, the struggle between More and King Henry VIII hinges on Henry's determination to break with Rome so he can divorce his current wife and wed again, and good Catholic More's inability to go along with such heresy. More resigns as Chancellor, hoping to be able to live out his life as a private citizen. But Henry will settle for nothing less than that the much respected More give public approval to his headstrong course.

Movie Reviews

Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley LovellOne man's conviction against the tyranny of Henry VIII makes for an intriguing drama in A Man for All Seasons
The New Republic - 10/10 by Pauline KaelAn agonisingly respectable, sincere film of Robert Bolt's literate play, with Scofield as Sir Thomas More, endorsing the divine right of the Pope over and above his King.
CineVue - 10/10 by Jordan AdcockJust over fifty years after A Man for All Seasons won six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actor for Paul Scofield, Fred Zinnemann’s adaptation of Robert Bolt’s stage play has found unique points of modern relevance.
Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaAinda que a abordagem de Zinnemann não consiga contornar a natureza essencialmente teatral do roteiro, as atuações (especialmente de Scofield, brilhante) e os diálogos absurdamente elegantes e bem construídos mantêm o filme sempre instigante.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Dave KehrRobert Bolt's boring historical drama functions best as an anthology of British acting styles, circa 1966.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Bosley CrowtherA Man for All Seasons is a picture that inspires admiration, courage and thought.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevySplendidly acted by Paul Scofield, who won an Oscar, this version of Robert Bolt's play about the conflict between Church and State suffers from Zinnemann's restrained, middlebrow sensibility.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Penelope HoustonThe intention, I take it, is to steer us into seeing the drama as something universal, to draw what modern parallels we choose. And if this is so, it seems to me misguided.
Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusFiercely intelligent, deeply affecting, resonant with verbal beauty and grace.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom CharityOrson Welles alone relieves the boredom in a marvellous cameo as Cardinal Wolsey. If only they'd let him loose with the whole sorry history...
