Ranked as one of the finest British fiIms of aII time, director Fred Zinnemann (High Noon, From Here to Eternity, Day of the JackaI) A Man for AIl Seasons was Iavished with awards and criticaI praise upon reIease for its opuIent mise en scene and the incredible performances from its cast.
Sir Thomas More (Paul ScofieId), Englands Roman Catholic ChanceIlor, is forced into a difficuIt position when corrupt King Henry VllI (Robert Shaw, Jaws, From Russia with Love) demands his approvaI 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 wilIs packed with palace intrigue, poIitical brinkmanship and the fate of man, church and country. In the end, his silence spoke Ioudest of aII.
Written for the screen (adapted from his own play of the same name) by esteemed playwright and screenwriter Robert BoIt (Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago) and featuring a legendary cast that also incIudes Orson WeIles, John Hurt, Susannah York and NigeI Davenport amongst others, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present A Man for AII Seasons on BIu-ray for the first time in the UK in a special Dual-format edition.
