Classic play-based film on the the man whose conviction led him to stand against Henry VIII. The real Thomas More was not such a saint.

A classic. Memorable performances and an interesting story. A must for fans of historical dramas.

More of a filmed theater show than cinema, but interesting and very well acted. Welles and Shaw's characters are extremely cool.

Standout historical drama covering intrigues from the court of Henry VIII. Excellently done.
Thomas

A man places his own convictions & beliefs above that of popular thought.

One of those movies with such brilliant dialog they could film it in a warehouse with everyone in street clothes and it'd still be good.

Read the play at school and watched the film a few years later. A little drawn out. Gives some insight to a piece of English history.

A nice film, very well made, directed and acted. This film might be a bit boring at some points, but it has it moments.
