Description: When Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) seeks approval from the English aristocracy to
divorce his wife and marry commoner Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield) finds
himself caught between a murderous king and the powerful Roman Catholic Church. Richly
crafted with a fine supporting cast, director Fred Zinnemann's period drama swept the 1966
Oscars, winning six golden statuettes, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.
