Additional InformationA MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, based on Robert Bolt's stage play, is an excellent biographical drama about the conflicts faced by Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield) when King Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) asks him to break with Rome and grant him a divorce. The film is a powerful, cerebral story, supported by an excellent cast that includes Orson Welles, Susannah York, John Hurt, and others. (Vanessa Redgrave, sister of star Corin Redgrave, would later participate in a well-received made-for-television remake in 1988.) The movie, directed by Fred Zinneman, was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Scofield), and Best (Adapted) Screenplay.

Definitive film version of the classic play.
The high quality of the film itself has been established and acknowledged since its release in the late '60s. The "product" here is the Blu-ray disc version and the quality of the transfer to this medium. On the whole, the Blu-ray version is a step-up from the DVD although, as often happens, the title sequence appears not to have been given the Blu-ray treatment. In fairness, the quality of the Blu-ray is substantially dependent on the condition of the film negative used for the transfer and this, in turn, is reliant on the type of film stock used when the cinema film was shot. I project Blu-rays onto an 11' screen so image quality is very important to me and I have older films from which have been produced sharper image quality. It is still a valuable title in my Blu-ray collection and, at the very reasonable price, a bargain.
