    Good condition disc and played fine on my DVD player. Be aware though, that the 2007 digital mastering of this classic 1966 film has not created the visual quality one would expect of a present day movie DVD, Blu-Ray or streaming service, with rather gruesome colours and excess contrast. Still, it does offer a compelling historical insight to complement Wolf Hall, available still on BBC I-Player.

  • Truly a great film except for DVD skipping and hanging

    Truly a great film depicts the title. It is a must-watch for the neutrals. However, the DVD skips and hangs at some point not making it smooth viewing

  • A Man For All Seasons

    A brilliant scope on the great Sir Thomas More canonized 300 years later by the church and made a Saint by the Roman Catholic church. Engaging,beautifully period and a great film from 1966.

  • Love the title. Rarely there comes a man who stands up for his principles against all odds.

    A stellar cast of superb actors including Orson Welles, Paul Scofield, Robert Shaw, John Hurt, Wendy Hiller, Leo Mckern, Nigel Davenport marvellous!! The story is a faithful account of what happened and gives a penetrating insight into Henry's court. Scofield as Thomas More puts in a stunning performance and earned him an Oscar for best actor. An enigmatic private man he didn't even attend to receive it. Screenplay by Robert Bolt a genius. On release 1966 The film is a "masterpiece" made in a golden age of British cinema. Highly recommended. If you have never seen this film you are in for a treat.
