MaryAnn Johanson (the Flick Filosopher) reviews "A Man for All Seasons," winner of the 1966 Oscar for Best Picture. She finds it dreary.
Review of the film, by Bosley Crowther, in the New York Times. Talky picture, but with solid acting by most of the cast. Free registration required.
Review of the 1966 movie calls it "both inspiring and cinematically excellent."
Review of the movie, by Steven D. Greydanus. Highest rating by all four criteria he uses.
Review of the Academy Award winner now on DVD. Rated A for the film itself, A- for technical transfer to DVD.
Review gives as much attention to the DVD quality as to the movie itself, and rates both. The movie is a long-winded bore, possibly because it does not diverge enough from the play on which it is based.
Movie review with questions parents can ask their children. Rated 5 checks (highest rating) for ages 10 and up.
Capsule review of a boring historical drama suggests that it serves best as a showcase of mid-1960s styles in British acting.
Cast, plot summary, viewer comments and rating, awards and nominations.
