A Man for all Seasons
A Man For All Seasons
Starring: Charlton Heston, Sir John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave
Charlton Heston is Sir Thomas More, a man of rare courage-a scholar and statesman who will make any sacrifice for king and country as long as he can do so with a clear conscience. His opposition to King Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church provides the conflict-and universal appeal-in "A Man For All Seasons."
Heston also directed this new production of Robert Bolt's Oscar-winning play, co-starring Vanessa Redgrave and Sir John Gielgud, who head a brilliant supporting cast. "A Man For All Seasons" was a major stage hit in London in 1960 and in New York in 1962. This new production, adapted by Bolt, is the first to film the play as originally written.
The much-acclaimed production broke house records in major English cities and set an all-time attendance record for drama at any theatre in Great Britain during a recent tour.
A moving and inspiring film showing the crucial point in this man's life which determined whether he live or die.
