A Man for All Seasons - Trailer [1966] [39th Oscar Best Picture]

The story takes place in 16th century England. But men like Sir Thomas More, who love life yet have the moral fiber to lay down their lives for their principles, are found in every century. Concentrating on the last seven years of English chancellor's life, the struggle between More and his King, Henry VIII, hinges on Henry's determination to break with Rome so he can divorce his current wife and wed again, and good Catholic More's inability to go along with such heresy. More resigns as chancellor, hoping to be able to live out his life as a private citizen. But Henry will settle for nothing less than that the much respected More give public approval to his headstrong course. Written by alfiehitchie

Hard to believe these days that a Hollywood studio could produce such an intelligent and brilliant film. These days they seem only to be able to churn out moronic crap.

[eurobaby460]

This soundtrack is extremely good and nearly impossible to find. Thanx for the post!

[MillerCrosses]

One of Kevin Smith's five favourite films.

[John Doe]

Great movie. Fabulous soundtrack. Award for Worst Wigs of All Time.

[Mopperty]

Looking forward to seeing this! however i dont think they need to bring up oscars 10 times and films title five times in a three min trailer!

[stephanie ricketts]

i like a lusty Henry

[Tatjana Dedeic]

can you help me,where to find the whole movie?

[joned1000]

Where do you people come up with these wonderful old trailers? I love this movie, have the video, watch it at least once every few months. I swear there's nothing like British acting, nothing. I'm American, and there's just such a difference. We have some good acting here, but they think Pacino is good...he's just Pacino being Pacino all the time. Clooney...Pitt...just pretty faces. At least British pretty faces can act, like Firth, Macfadyen, Caine, etc.

excelente filme vale a pena assistir

[Cool2BCeltic]

This is a timeless film. One can see this being made nowadays with the cream of today's British acting profession with no changes to the script, cinematography and editing.

[Memphis Frost]

Just finished this one and extremely enjoyed it. They don't write movies like this anymore. Paul Scofield was superb. And Robert Shaw had me cracking up as Henry VIII.
