FILM DESCRIPTION:
When the highly respected British statesman Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield) refuses to pressure the Pope into annulling the marriage of King Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) and his Spanish-born wife, More's clashes with the monarch increase in intensity. A devout Catholic, More stands by his religious principles and moves to leave the royal court. Unfortunately, the King and his loyalists aren't appeased by this, and press forward with grave charges of treason, further testing More's resolve.

I love it when Cromwell says "The King says Not!" He's clearing thinking 'Gotcha! You wouldn't dare deny what the King himself has said!' And then More turns the tables on him by noting that whatever the King may have said to *Cromwell*, he still knows what actually happened and won't give false testimony.
RIP Leo McKern (March 16, 1920 - July 23, 2002), aged 82
And
RIP Paul Scofield (January 21, 1922 - March 19, 2008), aged 86
You both will be remembered as legends.
"Terror is for children, master secretary, not for me."😆
"They are terrors for Children".
Top 3 movie of all time. Kudos.
An excellent movie with many exceptional performances. Until 3 weeks ago I was not familiar with this movie. Many thanks to the algorithms of UA-cam.
Isn’t it wonderful when you discover a gem in that way. The two best screenplays in cinema history were filmed two years apart. A Man for all Seasons (1966) and ‘The Lion in Winter’ (1968)
@@gerardmackay8909 ...I agree, "happenstance" certainly keeps life interesting
I lost count ages ago of how many times I've sat and watched this screen adaptation. I've even got the vinyl soundtrack with the entire dialogue and incidental music which is a joy to listen to. I even have a uk quad cinema poster and a programme booklet. What a great film.
This movie has some of the most tightly packed, literate dialogue ever written, delivered with impeccable nuance. Moore here is not just defending himself but impugning Cromwell as a promoter of perjury, and reveals that Cromwell himself had incorrectly assumed that other members of his plot, namely the instigator, must be as willing to commit or suborn perjury as he is. It also hints that Cromwell’s eventual “victory” will come from finding someone else willing and suborning perjury from the third person in the room, Richard Rich.
This is acting.
Great acting...and by so many players
I think Mel Gibson, who played Hamlet in the 1998 movie of the same name alongside Scofield, commented that doing a scene with Scofield was like stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson.
That rasping bite in Cromwell's voice as he rounds up the King's charge against Sir Thomas cuts sharper than a Sabre.
jesus can you imagine being yelled at by paul scofiled? haha
Young John Hurt learning from the best.
It's interesting to see this scene after watching/reading something like Wolf Hall, where our context and understanding of the historical figures present are quite different.
Same!
I thought Leo McKern played Cromwell with believable force. Mark Rylance just came across as depressed.
And quite wrong. It s novel, and not a very good or accurate one.
Ahhh - this is Leo McKern’s rehearsal for Rumpole.
Bravo!
I dont even know why im here i haven't even heard of this movie
Are we suppose to like your comment?
Because I'm no....
Oh...someone has already. 😒
@@StillTheVoid no im just sayin
Accidentally clicked this and didn’t care lol

@oofy gang ok boomer.
Deute. 18:10-14,
Mark 7:20-23,
This is the most absurdly slanted movie ever produced, trying to make Thomas More appear saintly and humanitarian: the same man who said, "The smell of a heretic's burning flesh is sweet in God's nostrils". He not only destroyed anyone owning a Bible but ran his own interrogation and prison in the basement of his home in Chelsea. More was a murderous religious fanatic whom the Vatican-sponsored film industry depict as "christ like". Meanwhile, in this film reformers like Thomas Cromwell are made to seem piggish and nasty. A disgusting distortion of history.
Not at all. Not in the slightest. In their haste for reformation they blatantly violated so many aspects of the English law that they themselves turned in to the fanatics they claimed to be fighting. These crimes you are so willing to condemn More for were also perpetrated by the same people now trying to destroy him, not only with More himself but likely before alongside side with him, “for fellowship’s sake”. Justifying the crimes of the reformation because of the crimes of preceding regime is tantamount to justifying the reign of terror because of the king’s previous actions. I reject both. One evil does not justify another. More’s execution had nothing to do with his crimes as a fanatic (a crime his accusers were themselves perpetrating in that execution) and everything to do with political expediency and tyranny. That’s what we condemn.
and where he said that? is that lutheran gossip or you actually found a historical source? also can you note the evidence for his basement prison? would love to learn
Funny thing, the only other thing I'd seen the Actor playing Cromwell in was as the mad cult leader in The Beatles film "Help".
I was looking for Johnny Englishs theme
Everything was predicated on the actual existence of a God. Their world was a fantasy.
Movie is predicated on the law of England at the time.
I saw wolf hall and actually More is the bad guy
Wolf Hall is complete fiction.
@@wearie.wayfarer Lol. you think this one is not?
@@karlkarlos3545 how much of a fiction is this one if the guy in question is venerated in the anglican church, the very church More went against?
@@merchrich9758 There is no Anglican "Church." The Catholic Church is the only true church. The Anglicans have tried and tried to become more Catholic in the past several decades to save their butts. Hasn't worked.
“You brought yourself to where you stand now” I completely agree, More died for his own pride above anything else
More died to honor the faith he had to the church and not to honor the kings fake church he created for his own service rather than that of God
Not pride. In fact, he quietly withdrew from public life and his position of honour. There was a violation of laws, injustice, and attacks on his beliefs. More gave witness to the truth and to his faith. He was seeking to stay true to his conscience, practice of the law and of course, his beliefs, not desiring to die.
He could have saved himself simply by lying to those he thought heretics
@@harryturner8701 Well everyone believes something is worth dying for. If they didn't, they would never leave their house. Society honours soldiers, police officers, firefighters etc. who die in the line of duty. The question is not if there is something worth dying for, the question is, WHAT is worth dying for. If Thomas More's belief is true, than nothing is more worth dying for.
He died because he disobeyed the king. People were ordered to swear, he refused. Not because of the king's title as Supreme head of the church in England.
