Thank you.

Good deep movie. I have it somewhere on disk (A man of all seasons).
Today’s advocates of situational ethics should be required to watch this.
More: "And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me ... for fellowship?"
Surprised it is not at least 9 out of 10. After all, the film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
And that was back when the awards meant something.
Worth watching.
Excellent movie!
Agreed. Excellent movie.
