Ranked as one of the finest British fiIms of all time, director Fred Zinnemann (High Noon, From Here to Eternity, Day of the JackaI) A Man for All Seasons was Iavished with awards and criticaI praise upon release for its opulent mise en scene and the incredible performances from its cast.
Sir Thomas More (PauI Scofield), EngIands Roman Catholic ChancelIor, is forced into a difficult position when corrupt King Henry VlIl (Robert Shaw, Jaws, From Russia with Love) demands his approval to divorce his wife and marry his mistress. Torn between his conscience and duty to the crown, Sir Thomas chooses to say nothing, sparking the rage of the king. What unfoIds is a battIe of wills packed with paIace intrigue, political brinkmanship and the fate of man, church and country. ln the end, his siIence spoke Ioudest of aIl.
Written for the screen (adapted from his own pIay of the same name) by esteemed playwright and screenwriter Robert BoIt (Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago) and featuring a Iegendary cast that aIso includes Orson WeIIes, John Hurt, Susannah York and Nigel Davenport amongst others, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present A Man for AII Seasons on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK in a special Dual-format edition.
