This movie the life of Thomas More, who during the 16th century, supports the King Henry VIII, who rejects the Roman Catholic Church, after his decision to divorce his catholic wife and marry another woman.
The film works well in all departments, in fact -- design, photography, and music. One just wishes that its central conception had been more interesting.
There's more than a little of the school pageant in the rhythm of the movie: Though it's all neater than our school drama coaches could make it, the figures group and say their assigned lines and move on.
