Yes. In my view, one of the most wonderful films of all time.

They certainly had amazing material to draw from. It may not have been accurate in all respects, but still it’s wonderful, for sure.

Yes, consider how difficult it is to distill the crux of a man’s life into such a short two-hour period (shortened from the stage play). People ask, “Where are the Sir Thomas Mores of today ?” Given our culture and deemphasis on education, it’d be very hard to produce someone of similar intelligence and stature. I’m sure there are many folks out there of high-mindedness, but those people steer clear of political office these days. Such an individual today would probably be content to teach at a small Conservative college today, known but only to a few.
