A scene from the 1966 movie “A Man for All Seasons”. Thomas More has been imprisoned for refusing to sign the Act of Succession recognizing Anny Boleyn’s offspring as the legal heirs to the throne of England. Here he has been called before Secretary Cromwell, the Duke of Norfolk, and a bishop from the new Church of England. They try to get him to sign the Act, whether by threat or reason (Cromwell and the bishop) or by plea to friendship (Norfolk). More refuses to sign.

On this, the feast day of St. Thomas More, may those of us who follow in his footsteps see from his example, and know the lesson that those who do not learn from history ARE destined to repeat it.
The King’s good servant, but God’s first.

Thumbs up if this film is in your personal Top Ten!
@akosigundam Actually, if I’m not mistaken, the churchman at such an interrogation would have been the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer… So all FOUR Thomases together! Neat 🙂

“Thank you thomas, ive been trying to make that clear to his grace for quite some time”- hilarious!
The voice is a wonder, because it isn`t public school. It isn`t sloane ranger, it isn`t BBC, it isn`t posh, it`s not even what folk would call classical. Unique and much missed.
