A Man for All Seasons
(1966)
Directed by Fred
Zinnemann this film based on the play of the same name stars Paul
Scofield, Robert Shaw, Orson Wells and Leo McKern. An English
politician finds himself caught between the demands of his king and
his faith.
Massaging historical
events slightly this is a good look at one man's attempt to reconcile
different pressures on his life. Maybe a little bit stilted to modern
ears this is still a really good watch with some excellent dialogue.
There are some great performances, especially in the supporting
roles.
4/5
