He wrote plays and screenplays about characters in conflict with their society. Although he did not share the Faith of More, he obviously greatly admired him and that shines through the play.

I admit that the movie remains top on my list of favourite films; yet, I'd place more historical accuracy in Roper's own account of More's life than this, however poetically it depicts More.

He could've have been grappling within himself and only later realized the gravity of what he had done. I agree that he played the role very well.

Note that the bailiff had to remind him "So help you God, Sir Richard". I thought John Hurt played well the role of a man who has subdued his conscience, but still feels faint pangs of shame.

It's interesting that Richard Rich doesn't blink an eye when Sir Thomas quotes the Bible in reference to his Medal-of-Office. This scene from ‘A Man For All Seasons’ is one of my most favorite.
