" Notes: It was the 3rd movie directed by Fred Zinnemann that I had the pleasure to watch (following 'The Day of the Jackal’ and ‘The Nun's Story’) and I became more and more impressed every time by his work. I mean, those 3 movies were completely different but they all displayed some fascinating stories, some very solid acting and some expert directing. This time around, I was above all impressed by the dialogues. Indeed, it was basically a play adaptation and even though it was about 2 h"

"Lähinnä A Man For All Seasons herättää kysymyksiä siitä, mitä on elokuva? Voiko taideteoksesta paikallistaa itse elokuvuutta? Mikä on elokuvuuden rooli elokuvan elokuvallisuudessa? Heh heh. No ei siis: A Man For All Seasons on uskollinen filminnös mielenkiintoisesta näytelmästä (osin samalla miehityksellä kuin näytelmän olennaisimmalla teatterikierroksella), joka pohjautuu mielenkiintoisiin todellisiin tapahtumiin (Thomas Moren kieltäytyminen tunnustamasta Henrik VIII:nnen aukt"

A Man for All Seasons

“Fred Zinnemann made several great films of the studio era, like From Here to Eternity, High Noon, and The Nun’s Story. His style was spartan craftsmanship with an emphasis on the psychological reality of his characters, and a keen eye for casting that brought some of the best performances of their respective careers. Think of Gary Cooper’s stoic sheriff, Donna Reed’s weary call girl, Julie Harris’ moody tomboy, or Don Murray’s drug addict, and how they’re highlights in uniformly strong ensembles.   These qualities carry over into A Man for All Seasons, Zinnemann’s tony adaptation of a respectable play. It cleaned up at the 39th Academy Awards, nabbing six wins out of eight nominations, during an era where that voting body loved three things: British cinema, stage adaptati” read more

" FilmStruck- 2hrs. First Viewing It's a well made film, filled with great craft and some superb performances, but A Man for All Seasons is just too staid to make anything resembling a lasting impression. Paul Scofield is a sturdy anchor for the film, giving a cold but empathetic performance, but Robert Shaw's two scenes brim with such vitality that it's hard not to wish he had had a stronger presence in the film. Everything is just fine, and that's really my major takeaway; it's all good, and I "
