is a historical drama that delves into the tribulations of Sir Thomas More as he refuses to support Henry VIII&#8217;s break from the Roman Catholic Church. The film opens with More becoming Henry VIII&#8217;s Lord Chancellor, which guarantees wealth and privilege for his family. However, when he is eventually approached to back the King&#8217;s plan to go up against the Catholic Church to secure his divorce from Catherine of Aragon, he is faced with a crisis of conscience.\u00a0 Choosing to side against Henry, he loses it all and faces the consequences with his family.\u00a0 Coincidently it&#8217;s when More is arrested that this picture goes downhill and begins to drag for the remainder of its runtime.<\/p><p>It\u2019s was my understanding that Richard Burton turned down the role of Thomas More while Charleton Heston lobbied for it\u2014eventually it went to Paul Scofield who played the part in the New York and London stage productions.\u00a0 Yet admittingly I found his performance lacking any depth and his character was totally emotionless through-out the entire film.\u00a0 Perhaps he was supposed to have a stiff upper-lip, which is anyone\u2019s guess, but it was totally lost on me, and I found it surprising that Scofield actually beat Burton in the Best Actor category.<\/p><p>The only performance that really stood out to me was by Robert Shaw as Henry VIII.\u00a0 He was handsome, loud and boisterous, and not exactly the preconceived image that we have of a portly king chowing down on a turkey leg.\u00a0 In the end I would have liked to have seen more scenes between himself and Scofield\u2019s Thomas More.<\/p><p>With its costumes and settings, \u201cA Man for All Seasons\u201d is a fair British period piece, which was popular at the time, but it falls short compared to other historical dramas, such as \u201cThe Lion in Winter.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92b2cc8 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"92b2cc8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01ea336 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"01ea336\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1276&#038;action=elementor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Previous Winner 1965<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fd974b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7fd974b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=250&#038;action=elementor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to Home<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc162c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bc162c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/?p=2280&#038;preview=true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Next Winner 1967<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14aefc3d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"14aefc3d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the Best Picture goes to&#8230;. 1966Fred Zinnemann, Producer2 HoursEstimated Budget $2,000,000Rated G https:\/\/youtu.be\/iuClgg63Mcg?t=5 The Other Nominated Films AlfieThe Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are ComingThe Sand PebblesWho\u2019s Afraid of Virgina Woolf?
