Robert Bolt's hit stage play, concerning Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield repeating his stage role) and his fatal refusal to acknowledge King Henry VIII's break from the church to divorce his wife and marry his lover, is adapted for the screen in this release from Columbia/TriStar Video. Viewable in either the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical version or 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, this release also offers a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Stereo audio track and optional English subtitles. Extra features are limited to the now standard chapter scene selection and interactive menus. |
