Which 1966 film about Sir Thomas More starred Paul Scofield?

The 1966 film about Sir Thomas More starring Paul Scofield was A Man for All Seasons. Scofield plays the former Lord Chancellor of England, whose conscience puts him in conflict with King Henry VIII.

Directed by Fred Zinnemann, the film adapted Robert Bolt's successful stage play. Its story focuses on More's refusal to support Henry's attempt to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and his later refusal to recognize the king as Supreme Head of the Church of England. More was ultimately executed for treason in 1535, although the film presents a dramatized version of events.

Scofield had already played More in the London and Broadway productions, making his casting unusually closely connected to the original work. His performance won the Academy Award for Best Actor, while the film also won Best Picture and four other Oscars. The title comes from a description of More as a person able to remain true to his principles in every season of life.
