Fred Zinneman’s acclaimed 8-time Oscar winner tells the inspirational true story of Sir Thomas More’s steadfast commitment to his own moral compass, as he stood up to King Henry VIII when the king wanted to reject the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a divorce. Paul Scoffield delivers a stoic and subtly brilliant performance as Sir Thomas, who uses his reason and strength of self to steer him through a political and religious upheaval in the Church. Beautifully shot and edited to captivate audiences for all time. Presented as a fundraiser by our local Knights of Columbus chapter.
