Story Synopsis

A Man For All Seasons, from the play by Robert Bolt, won six Academy Awards® including Best Picture in 1966. Paul Scofield stars as Sir Thomas More, a respected English statesman, whose steadfast idealism brings him to his fate. More, a member of King Henry VIII’s High Council, is tried for high treason because he would not sign an oath recognizing the King’s marriage to Anne Boleyn. Neither the pleads from his beloved daughter (Susannah York) nor from his wife (Wendy Hiller) could make him give in to the courts and sign away his beliefs to regain his freedom. An astounding film on all accounts.
