(I disagree) &#8220;about how Sir Thomas More (an Oscar-winning Paul Scofield) chose to give up his life rather than sanction Henry VIII&#8217;s divorce from Catherine of Aragon and remarriage to Anne Boleyn.&#8221; In comparing A <em>Man For All Seasons<\/em> with his personal pick for Best Picture that year &#8212; Roman Polanski&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=2505\"><em>Cul-de-Sac<\/em><\/a> &#8212; he notes that each film &#8220;contains scene after scene of confrontational, power-play conversations&#8221;; each is &#8220;about a man who loses everything while battling for his integrity&#8221;; and each &#8220;uses the catalytic appearance of intruders\/visitors into a couple&#8217;s home to cause them to confront what&#8217;s drastically wrong with their marriage.&#8221; (That last point is a bit of a stretch for <em>A Man of All Seasons<\/em>, though More&#8217;s marriage &#8212;

I went into my viewing of this historical drama intentionally fuzzy on details (hoping to maximize impact), and given that I was unprepared even for well-known final outcomes, I found myself entirely gripped &#8212; thanks largely to Scofield&#8217;s consistently compelling (and, yes, understated) performance. However, the film itself is wonderfully mounted in its own right, with rich cinematography, opulent sets, colorful costumes, and excellent supporting performances across the board.
